‎World's fastest supercomputer

‎'World's fastest supercomputer' : (An Update)

The $100-million "Titan" is the top supercomputer with a performance record of 17.59 petaflops per second (quadrillions of calculations per second) .

In the clash of the world's supercomputing titans, a U.S. supercomputer named "Titan" is king.

The supercomputer, a Cray XK7 system based at Tennessee's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, leaped past the former champion, the Sequoia supercomputer at California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

The top five supercomputers in the world are:

1)Titan Cray XK47 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (17.59 petaflops/s)

2)Sequoia BlueGene/Q at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (16.33 petaflops/s)

3)Fujitsu's K computer at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science in Kobe, Japan (10.51 petaflops/s)

4)The Mira BlueGene/Q computer at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Ill. (8.16 petaflops/s)

5)The JUQUEEN BlueGene/Q computer at the Forschungszentrum Juelich in Germany. (4.14 petaflops/s)

U.S. supercomputers had fallen behind China's Tianhe-1A supercomputer and Japan's Fujitsu K Computer starting in 2009, but staged a comeback with Sequoia's rise in 2012.
