The Undisputed number one Super computer in the world.

As the TOP500 organization announced monday night the world king of computers during the international super computing conference, it was a super super computer developed by the National Research Institute Center of Parallel Computer Engineering and Technology, China.

The chinese developed the fastest and world most advanced super computer called Sunway Taihulight, capable of making a whoping 93 Quadrillions calculations per second, with 10,649,600 computing cores and 40,960 nodes. Another mind blowing thing about this machine is the amount of power it consumes at peak under load, it consumes a staggering 15.37MW, thats enough power to light a small town.

When you factor how many calculations per second the close second is to this monster machine, then the reality of this great achievement will be appreciated.

THE CHINESE SUNWAY TAIHULIGHT

One other thing about this super computer was the raw materials used to build this wonderful machine. All the raw materials used were all sourced from china, with the machine running on the new chinese processor instead of intel the first uses.

The next super computer coming second is another super computer made by the same chinese, but with far inferior calculations per second when compared with the new heavy weight, SUNWAY.
Below are the order the super computers in the world were rated by TOP500 Organization.
