Chinese supercomputer is still the most powerful in the world, with Russia's best one in 42nd place
China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer is still the most powerful in the world. It once again topped the international Top500 ranking published on Monday. The list, which is updated twice a year, lists the world's 500 fastest computer systems.
The Chinese supercomputer was developed at the University of Defense Science and Technology of China's People's Liberation Army in Changsha (Hunan Province, Central China). Tianhe-2 achieves a performance of 33.86 petaflops. That means it performs 33.86 quadrillion computer operations per second. This is the third consecutive time this computer has topped the Top500 supercomputer ranking, first published in 1993.Second place went to the American Titan from Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. It shows a performance of 17.59 petaflops. The third position is occupied by the American supercomputer Sequoia with the capacity of 17.17 petaflops.
According to the Top500 compilers, the top ten list is virtually unchanged from November 2013, when the previous ranking was presented. Of the ten most powerful computers in the world, six are in the USA, one each in China, Japan, Switzerland and Germany. All in all, the Top500 rating includes 233 supercomputers from the USA, 73 from China, 30 each from Great Britain and Japan, 27 from France, 23 from Germany.
Russia is represented in the global ranking by five computer systems, the most productive of which - Lomonosov Moscow State University supercomputer - has a capacity of 0.9 petaflops and takes the 42nd place.
