Since eight years ago, Chinese super computers have dominated the fastest and most sophisticated computer list in the world. However, in the year 2018, this super computer carved a separate and significant record.
Yes, for the first time in this year the world's fastest supercomputer "SUNWAY TAIHULIGHT" made in China using locally made processors. That is, China is able to develop super computer number 1 without the help of technology United States (USA).
Based on the Linpack performance test (benchmark), Sunway TaihuLight carved a value of 93 FLOPS Maps. The peak performance of this computer was recorded up to 125 FLOPS Maps. This value far surpasses the previous fastest computer also made in China, Tianhe-2 which 'only' has a maximum performance of 33.86 Map-FLOPS.
The high performance of Sunway TaihuLight allows him to run a thousand trillion calculations per second! Nothing wrong with the computer finally used to predict the weather, designing nuclear weapons, to the analysis of oil drilling points.
The presence of Sunway TaihuLight makes China now has 169 super computers, the largest in the world. The second rank is filled by Americans with 167 super computers. The third position belongs to Japan with 29 super computers only.
