You can achieve alot when America ships all their jobs over to you in order to achieve their own self destruction.

Didn’t they achieve a very fast supercomputer simply linking playstation 3s, probably weighing under a hundred pounds and costing a few thousand bucks?

Add the ‘made in China’ tag to yet another gadget: the world’s fastest supercomputer. China says it has the most powerful computing system — a machine called Tianhe-1A. The supercomputer uses 7,168 NVIDIA Tesla M2050 GPUs (graphics processing units) and 14,336 Intel Xeon CPUs and is capable of clocking 2.507 petaflops or 2,507 trillion floating point calculations per second.

That we know about. Certain agencies probably have faster computers.

China has taken the lead in the supercomputer race, having built a 155 ton system using 7,168 GPUs...

The ultimate efficacy of these supercomputers depends heavily upon the programs they are made to run being able to split their tasks more or less equally across all the individual processors in the machine. A badly designed program or an ill-suited problem will leave almost all the processors idle.
