Extraordinary, There's Fastest Computer in the World. Some countries are developing computers with tremendous ability so called super computers used for scientific research. They were competing to snatch the title as the fastest performance.Substitution of position quite often. Where the throne of a super computer suddenly seized devices from other countries with more sophisticated designs. Here's a list of the world's fastest super computer in the Top 500 list compiled by academics at the University of Mannheim, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and NERSC / Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Relative to the speed of the computer then uses the term that stands flops floating point operations per second. Flops is a unit of measurement of the number of calculations that can be performed by a computer device to fractions. For example, one flops ie computer skills in calculating the fraction 1 million calculations in 1 second.
1. Sequoia
Sequoia is a supercomputer designed by IBM. She is currently stationed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and used by the Department of Energy, United States. Sequoia won the fastest super computer after the processing speed sculpt 16.32 petaflop / s.
Where to beat the achievement of 10.5 petaflop / s K Computer generated previously occupied the first position. The result is arguably achievement for the United States. Because this was the first time Uncle Sam was a 'nest' universal fastest super computer in the last three years.
2. K Computer
K Computer made in Japan recorded able to record the speed calculation reaches 10.51 petaflop / s. K Computer is a supercomputer built by Fujitsu technology companies.
The device is placed at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science, Kobe, Japan that has more than 80 thousand units of CPU each reinforced with 8 cores. Japan itself has had several super computers.
3. Mira
giant technology vendors keen to develop the famous IBM supercomputer called Blue Gene. One version is called Mira, who entered the family Blue Gene / Q is designed has greater performance than the previous version of Blue Gene.
This super computer is placed on the National Labroratory in Illinois, the United States to perform various functions.Speed can be about 8 petaflop / s.
4. SuperMUC
SuperMuc is the nickname of a new super computer developed by the German Leibniz-Rechenzentrum in Munich.SuperMUC touted as the fastest supercomputer in Europe with a speed of 3 petaflop / s. Like the other super computers, its main purpose is to conduct a wide range of scientific research.
SuperMuc system will use 18,432 Intel Xeon processors Sandy Bridge-EP and running on IBM System x iDataPlex servers. This super computer also uses the latest cooling technology at IBM called Aquasar that uses hot water to cool the processor.
5. Tianhe 1A
Not to be outdone by the developed countries, China is making its own super computer called Tianhe 1. The device was developed by the Chinese National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) and was first introduced in 2009.
In October 2010, performed an upgrade with the name Tianhe 1A. Equipped with super specifications like 14 336 7168 Xeon processor X5670 and Nvidia Tesla M2050 GPUs, Tianhe 1A can record the speed of calculation of 2.6 petaflop / s
6. Jaguar
Jaguar Cray dibuut by the operator at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, located in Tennessee, USA. Jaguar had a peak performance of 1.7 petaflop / s. This super computer has 224,256 core AMD Opteron processor-based x86.
Linux operating system is dubbed as the Cray Linux Environment. With the amazing computational capabilities, Jaguar used to support research in many fields, from seismology, physics to astrophysics.
