China Set to Release the World’s Fastest Computer

Quote

IN BRIEF

• China's Exascale Computer would be the fastest computer in the world, with their own Sunway TaihuLight coming in at a distant second
• With the massive advancement of this computer release, research capabilities would grow exponentially

THE FASTEST COMPUTER IN THE WORLD
China just announced that they plan to release a prototype of an exascale computer by the end of this year. Just to put that into perspective, this computer would be capable of one quintillion (a billion billion) or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 calculations per second. The machine would technically be classified as a ‘super-supercomputer.’
The enhanced supercomputer goes beyond any technological limits previously set by China. “A complete computing system of the exascale supercomputer and its applications can only be expected in 2020, and will be 200 times more powerful than the country’s first petaflop computer Tianhe-1, recognized as the world’s fastest in 2010,” stated Zhang Ting, application engineer from the Tianjin-based National Supercomputer Center.
