What is a good supercomputer example?

China on Monday revealed its latest supercomputer, a monolithic system with 10.65 million compute cores built entirely with Chinese microprocessors. This follows a U.S. government decision last year to deny China access to Intel's fastest micropro... read more

The fastest U.S. supercomputer, number 3 on the Top500 list, is the Titan, a Cray supercomputer at U.S. Dept. of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory with a theoretical peak of about 27 petaflops. Whether the U.S. chip ban accelerated China's resolve to develop its own microprocessor technology is a question certain to get debate. read more

Some prominent examples of supercomputers include TaihuLight, Tianhe-2, Titan, Sequoia, K Computer, TianHe-IA, Jaguar, and Roadrunner. All eight supercomputers are at the forefront in the world in terms of both processing power and design. read more

A supercomputer is a computer that performs at or near the currently highest operational rate for computers. Traditionally, supercomputers have been used for scientific and engineering applications that must handle very large databases or do a great amount of computation (or both). read more
