The new system, which is based on a microprocessor that has been designed and manufactured in China, is now expected later this year. A number of supercomputing industry scientists and engineers said that it was possible that the new machine would claim the title of world’s fastest.

Amazing, yet it is the case that supercomputing has lost its shine in the USA since there is no business case for massive modeling of extremely complex systems.
Instead we have much more money and research pouring into web-server, networking, and database infrastructure which is generally composed of a workload spread across many lesser systems .

R&D follows manufacturing. Who knew?
We are reaping the rewards of our own stupidity as a nation.
It’s going to get much worse.

Yup, it can pick one item from Column A, two from Column B and six from Column C in just a few seconds.
Simply amazing!

Wonder why the writer chose that phrase?

Because cracking down on dissent online is so hard you need a supercomputer. Turns out they are handy for nuclear weapons modeling as well.

The Chinese are putting everything they have in getting the top spot. We still have over 1/2 the Supercomputers that exist in the world. It will be a long times before they have any kind of dominance in this field. I am certain if one were to look at these processors they have 'designed', you will notice that they look very similar to something Intel or AMD makes, only reversed-engineered. The Chinese don't have the R&D that we have. They can't invent their own stuff. They only copy what we have and put it in larger scale.
U.S. companies are far ahead. The next generation of tech is assuring our supercomputers will be over 100 times faster in 8 years than anything the Chinese came make now.

You can think the COMMUNIST APPEASING MORONS in the United States for giving China all the technology it needed for this.

Good thing we bought all that plastic crap from Chinese owned companies. Our money flows to China, and their government can get way ahead of us.
