China recently achieved a significant feat in the world of supercomputing. As of June 2016, the country is home to the most powerful computer in the world: the Sunway TaihuLight. Installed at Wuxi’s National Supercomputing Centre and boasting an incredible computing speed of 93 petaflops, the machine is capable of carrying out 93,000 trillion calculations per second. It is not only two times faster but also three times more efficient than the Tianhe-2, which previously topped the list of the world’s most powerful computing systems.
Running on a Linux-based operating system, the TaihuLight features 10.5 million processing cores and 40,960 nodes. As its extremely large number of cores make it ideal for highly specialized computing needs, the supercomputer is equipped to facilitate big data analytics, weather forecasting, and advanced manufacturing processes.
