What are the fastest computers in the world and in China?

The fastest in the world. According to the latest supercomputer rankings announced at the recent Superconference 2000 in Dallas, the fastest computer in the world is ASCIWHITE manufactured by IBM, with 8,192 processors and can process 12 tirillion instructions per second. SGI, on the other hand, is in fourth place with an ASCI BlueMountain computer with 6,144 processors.

Fastest in China. The Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China recently announced in Beijing: "The key project of the 863 Program——— Dawning 4000a, has passed the signature acceptance, and Dawning 4000a has achieved a double leap in technology and application of 10 trillion operations per second, becoming a commercial supercomputer with the strongest computing power in China.

At the same time, as the latest achievement of the national "863 Program", Sugon 4000A will be located in Shanghai Supercomputing Center as the largest master node of China's national network.

The fastest computing computer in the world today can calculate exascale operations per second.

According to the British magazine "New Scientist" on May 31, 2022, the International Supercomputing Organization announced that the supercomputer "Frontier" located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States has won the first place in the 2022 international supercomputing TOP500 list.

It has become the fastest supercomputer in the world today, with a computing power of up to 10 billion times per second, and it is also the first computer that can perform 10 billion floating point operations per second announced in the world.

The researchers point out that the "cutting-edge" computing power is not yet at its peak, and in the coming months and even years, as the software continues to be optimized, it could reach a theoretical peak performance of 20 exascales.

Basic introduction to Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States:

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the largest scientific and energy research laboratory affiliated with the U.S. Department of Energy, founded in 1943 and co-managed by the University of Tennessee and the Battelle Memorial Institute.

In the 20th century, ORNL was mainly engaged in research related to nuclear energy, physics and life sciences. The establishment of the Department of Energy in the 70s allowed the research program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to expand into the fields of energy production, transmission and conservation.

The fastest computing speed in the world today is the calculator (the supercomputer). On the morning of June 17, 2019, the 53rd Global Supercomputing TOP500 list was released at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) held in Frankfurt, Germany. Compared to the list published in November 2018, the top four on the list have not changed.

The two supercomputers deployed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Livermore Laboratory, Summit and Sierra, still occupy the top two spots, and China's supercomputers Sunway Taihu Light and Tianhe-2 are in the top two spots.

3rd and 4th place. Among them, the world's fastest supercomputing "apex" has a performance peak of 148 6 pflops on this list, setting a new supercomputing record.
