For years, China has claimed the top spot on a list of the 500 fastest supercomputers. Now it dominates the overall list, too, pushing the United States into second place.
For the first time, China has the most systems on the Top500 list, 202, up from 159 six months ago. The US dropped from 169 to 144. And in terms of the total performance of those machines, China also overtook the US, the Top500 supercomputer list organizers said.
The news underscores the relentless ascent of China's supercomputing trajectory in recent years. It also marks a notable shift in the international balance of high-end computing power that's closely tied to industrial, academic and military abilities.

No. We have one downstairs. It doesn’t do much of anything. I’m not even allowed to use it. I think they mostly use it to do DNA research.
A fast computer means nothing if it is not used to its fullest capability. This list was only compiled for curiousity's sake in the beginning. Probably still is.
Thank You Bill Clinton , democrat megadonors Hughes and Loral , Clinton’s late dead Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and his incredibly generous sharing Energy Secretary Hazel O Leary for bringing the multipolar world to this moment

I guess you dont much run simulations to ensure the reliability of your nuclear and space weapons..
Pfffft. We are waaaay ahead in gender studies and queer poetry.
The university got rid of its nuclear weapons after SALT II.
The supercomputer is actually using video cards to crunch the data. Our original supercomputer was Racks of Macs. DNA research is a gas that will fill any processing holes. The amount of data is enormous.
Yeah--we're doing genomic research here.
China’s supercomputers race past US to world dominance
Oh yeah! We got Windows 10!
It means Chinese best and brightest study STEM and build supercomputers.
This is while America's best and brightest fritter away their time with gossip, chitchat, and cat pictures on Facebook. And all their frittering is done to the empty background beat of ghetto rap foisted upon them by make-a-buck Hollywood.
What do you want to bet that not one Chinese university has such a department or field of "study"?
No Chinese stuff breaks down within 3 months.
Pfffft. We are waaaay ahead in gender studies and queer poetry.” ......................... Yeah, and who needs Math???
