US debuts world's fastest supercomputer
« on: June 11, 2018, 12:43:37 pm »
Summit, the US's new supercomputer, is more than twice as powerful as the current world leader.

The machine can process 200,000 trillion calculations per second - or 200 petaflops.

China's Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer, until now the world's most powerful machine, has a processing power of 93 petaflops.

Summit's initial uses will include areas of astrophysics, cancer research and systems biology.
