World Fastest Supercomputer is Born Chinese

tianhe-2

China have upgraded their super-computer named Tianhe-2 code name Milkyway-2 developed by China’s National Defense Technology become the number one position with a performance of 33.86 petaflop/seconds (quadrillions of calculation per second) on the Linpack benchmark. It was built by china’s national university of defense technology. Tianhe-2 will be used for Government Security Concerns, analysis.

With 16000 computer nodes, each computing two Intel Ivy Bridge Xeon processors and three Xeon Phi chips. World largest installation of IVY Bridge and Xeon Phi chips by Intel. Total counting of over 31,20,000 cores. Each of 16000 nodes possesses 88 GB of memory. Cu plus coprocessor memory of 1375 TiB(Tebibyte) is approximately 1.34 PiB(Petabyte).Comparatively 1375Tib converted to 1515.127023075 TB approx.

China has now two spots for the fastest computer first name Sunway taihulight built by National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi and other Tianhe-2 National Super Computer Center in Guangzhou in China. Thirds spot by Switzerland SupercomputerPiz Diant run by Swiss National Supercomputing Center and Fourth Spot by Supercomputer Titan by Doe/Sc/Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States.

List of Top 500 most Powerful Supercomputers in the world .China is already started it another supercomputer 1,000,000,000,000,000 calculations prototype will be completed this year. China shows its power through the largest supercomputer.

US Banned Export High Performance Chips to China

In the year 2015 the United States ban higher performance chips in china. Tianhe-2 is built with the Intel ivy bridge and Xeon phi high-performance processors. The Department of Commerce said that exporting such technology is a security concern to American National. Supercomputers are used for national security and scientific research. Many other governments use supercomputers for national calamities, weather reports, cybersecurity, and many more place supercomputing is used.
