World’s Fastest Computer: 200 Quadrillion Calculations Per Second!

“A person doing one calculation a second would have to live for more than 6.3 billion years to match what the American Summit computer can do in a second.” – Steve Lohr, June 9, 2018, The New York Times




The speed of Summit is astounding. It can do mathematical calculations at the rate of 200 quadrillion per second, or 200 petaflops per second. That is equivalent to a human doing one calculation every second for more than 6.3 billion years! To keep the Summit supercomputer cool enough to operate requires 4,000 gallons of water per minute. Its constant electricity consumption could light up 8,100 American homes.
