Intel-based system is more than twice the speed of any system in the U.S., and has China poised to take the global lead in Top500 supercomputing list

Under Obama-the-Undocumented Moslem Tyrant who hates
the US Constitution, the American superlative position
in computers, space, and now medicine will be crushed.
And HE will be happy.
Good gaming system.
So, have we stolen it yet?
Couldn’t have had anything to do with IBM shipping all this technology over there.
Or their theft of trade secrets through hacking.
I guess the good news is they can calculate really fast but they’ll still be hungry in an hour.

For those who don’t remember... prior to the November 2012 elections, Dinesh D’ Souza actually produced and showed a movie (documentary) nationwide entitled: 2016: OBAMA’s AMERICA.
In this documentary, D’Souza contends that Obama’s earlier life, following his childhood from Hawaii to Indonesia and a visit to Kenya (Obama’s father’s birthplace) has caused him to subscribe “to an ideology that sees America very differently.” D’Souza asserts that Obama’s father’s Kenyan roots in particular have inspired the President “to shrink America’s footprint in the world because he thinks we’ve been stepping on the world.”
D’Souza contends that Obama’s long term plan is to “equalize” America with the rest of the world so that we don’t become too dominant ( much like his desire to equalize everyone else here in the USA by bringing down the wealthy ).
I'm no hardware guy but it looks like it's a matter of components rather than technological advance. I say again.. When are the Chi-Coms going to pay the rest of what they owe us?

.. or if you prefer, when is the Communist Party going to compensate the families of those 60 million citizens they killed over the past 70 years?
This is a recent list of the computers which appeared at the top of the TOP500 list, and the "Peak speed" is given as the "Rmax" rating. For more historical data see History of supercomputing.
| Year | Supercomputer | Peak speed (Rmax) |
Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | IBM Roadrunner | 1.026 PFLOPS | Los Alamos, USA |
| 1.105 PFLOPS | |||
| 2009 | Cray Jaguar | 1.759 PFLOPS | Oak Ridge, USA |
| 2010 | Tianhe-IA | 2.566 PFLOPS | Tianjin, China |
| 2011 | Fujitsu K computer | 10.51 PFLOPS | Kobe, Japan |
| 2012 | IBM Sequoia | 16.32 PFLOPS | Livermore, USA |
| 2012 | Cray Titan | 17.59 PFLOPS | Oak Ridge, USA |
Sequoia was the world's fastest supercomputer at 16.32 petaflops, consuming 7890.0 kW, until October 29, 2012 when Titan went online.[73][74]
Pretty significant jump from there to 54.9
Those were INTEL CHIPS the Chinese used.
So much for that ‘sputnik’ moment, eh?
should mirror FR on it and see if it holds up on the 2016 election night live thread
The real leadership of America, the globalists, are fine with this, since they manage capital that is invested all over the world, including China. And they manage key political advisors in the governments of the world.
They will, however, happily use the news as a political lever to induce their personal representatives in Congress to give them some free taxpayer money.
The US government needs to “win the computer race”, ya know.
Geo-political struggles are the stock in trade of globalists.
How much is 54.9 quadrillion floating-point operations per Chicom second in units of floating-point operations per standard second.
