The fastest and most powerful computer in the world is still in China and it still is the Tianhe-2 supercomputer.
In most areas of technology, there is a constant pace of evolution and
progression, but that doesn't seem to be happening in the Supercomputing space
lately.
The June 2015 edition of the Top500 Supercomputer list is now out, and once
again the top speed is 33.86 petaflops, which is achieved by China's National
University of Defense Technology's Tianhe-2 supercomputer.
While that's an impressive figure, the Tianhe-2
first hit
number
one on the Top500 list in June of 2013, with the exact same performance
numbers. This means that in the last two years there has been zero improvement
in the top speed of the world's fastest supercomputer.
