U.S. passes Japan to lead supercomputer rankings
The U.S. Energy Department's Sequoia supercomputer is the most powerful in the world, according to Top500. The last time the U.S. owned the supercomputing title was November 2010, when it was displaced by China's Tianhe-1A system, which then lost the top spot to Japan's K Computer. Sequoia, an IBM BlueGene/Q system featuring Power BQC 16-core processors, is at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
