Tianhe second by the world’s top 500 supercomputers， China three-peat，

China's Tianhe second by the world's top 500 supercomputers Tianhe second Triple Crown-supercomputer-IT news Tianhe second by the world's top 500 supercomputers, China three-peat

23rd TOP500 organization released its latest rankings of the world's top 500 supercomputers, China's "milky way, second" super computers than the second-place United States "Titan" rapid almost 1 time times the speed of supercomputers, and won the Championship for the third time in a row.

The TOP500 list issued once every six months. Since last June, "Tianhe second" at 33.86 quadrillion floating point operations per second speeds topped. In addition to chip technology, this system is being developed by China. United States under the Department of energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's "Titan" 3 consecutive times the runner-up, the floating-point operation speed: 17.59 petaflops per second.

Third to fifth are the United States-livres of Lawrence national laboratory "Sequoia", the Japan Institute of physics and chemistry of "Jing" and United States Argonne National Laboratory "Mira", the ranking is no different from the previous list. Compared with the previous period, and only the top ten is the tenth, recently elected is part of the United States Government's "clay" XC30 supercomputers, its operation speed less than "milky way, second" one-tenth.

TOP500 organization said in a statement, seen from the list, the "Super speed of your computer's overall performance has dropped to an all-time low." For example, from 1994 to 2008, last 90% average annual increase in computing performance of the list, but each of the past 5 years by 55%.

Judging from the overall lists, United States in the top 500 supercomputers fell from the last issue of 265 233 of this period, but are still evident. Second County increased from 63 to 76. Japan and the United Kingdom respectively, 30 units in joint third place.

Supercomputers are an important foundation for national scientific research tool, in fields such as geology, meteorology, oil exploration research plays a key role in automotive, aerospace, chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries is an important research tool. TOP500 Supercomputer list is already installed to the global "seating" rankings of the most well-known. From 1993 onwards, by the TOP500 organization based on calculating speeds published twice a year.
