Tianhe-1A China's supercomputer is presently the globe's fastest: it could perform at a preserved 2.5 petaflops (a petaflop is a thousand trillion floating factor procedures each second) thanks to its 186,368 centers and 229,376 GB of RAM. While the horse power comes from off-the-shelf Intel and Nvidia chips, the The big apple Times mentions that the Chinese piece of equipment's rate is down to its adjoin, the networking technology that hooks up the individual nodes of the computer with each other, which is twice as fast as the InfiniBand modern technology made use of in many other supercomputers.

Actually, China's Tianhe-2 just took the spot of the fastest supercomputer with 33.86 petaflops over the US's TItan which has about 20 petaflops worth of crunch crunch.
