The World's New Supercomputer

China's Tianhe-1A (Milky Way) has knocked America's XT5 Jaguar off the world’s Supercomputer top spot.

The Jaguar, based at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee can only carry out a mere 1.75 petaflops per second. Each petaflop is the equivalent of 1,000 trillion calculations per second. In comparison the Milky Way is capable of carrying out more than 2.5 thousand trillion calculations a second, making it 47% faster.


To reach such high speeds the machine draws on more than 7,000 graphics processors and 14,000 Intel chips. The machine houses its processors in more than 100 fridge-sized cabinets and together these weigh more than 155 tonnes.


The claim to be the fastest machine on the planet has been ratified by the Top 500 Organisation which maintains a list of the most powerful machines.
