ayevee8toryear 0 #1 June 8, 2013 http://rt.com/news/china-fastest-supercomputer-milkyway2-379/ QuoteChina has developed a new supercomputer, which is twice as fast as US and Japanese systems, early tests show. The new Tianhe-2 (Milkyway-2) is said to be even speedier in theory, and is likely to top the world ranks for years. The worldwide supercomputer race may again be led by China, and this time for good – even before the official tests, the Tianhe-2 is showing a stunning performance of 30.7 Petaflops (quadrillions of calculations) per second, while its closest US rival, the Titan, can boast only 17.6 Petaflops. Wowee... a Petaflop... you learn something every day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, maybe try reading the article: QuoteThe supercomputer’s capabilities have been confirmed in a detailed report by Jack Dongarra of the University of Tennessee, who recently visited China’s National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), where the Tianhe-2 is currently being tested.Your rights end where my feelings begin.

What this particular article omits is that the US and Japan (and others) also have competitive SCs in development.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champu 1 #23 June 11, 2013 Moore's Law is pretty specific, and certainly can't go on forever, but the wikipedia article on it is actually a decent discussion of the progression of computer power in general. My point was simply that claiming end-all-be-all computing capabilities is pretty silly. I'm biased though, in my industry it's not about gate counts nor flops, it's about what you can do with one transistor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
