Two american "monsters" are again in first and second place in the world ranking of larger supercomputers (Top 500), while the largest Chinese supercomputer follows in third place.
Τη No 1 owns the computer Summit and No 2 ο Sierra, both of which are owned by the US Department of Energy and have been manufactured by IBM, followed by a third Sunway TaihuLight of the Chinese National Supercomputer Center.
Ο Summit (meaning "Top") has processing power 148,6 petaflops, that is, it can do 148,6 quadruple million calculations per second.
It is located in Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, while the Sierra (94,6 petaflops) on Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.
The Sierra supercomputer.
China continues to have the most supercomputers (219) in the Top 500 published every six months, followed by the United States (116), Japan (19), Britain (18), France (18) and Germany (14).
Most supercomputers are made from Lenovo (173), followed by n Inspur with 71 and h sauce with 63.
For the first time in history all 500 machines have passed the limit of one petaflop.
The total processing power of all its machines Top 500 reached them 1,56 exaflops (one exaflop is 1.000 petaflops), increased by 10% compared to the previous semester.
Power is expected to double by 2021, with only the US planning two new supercomputers, the Frontier and Aurora, each with at least one exaflop.
