Oak Ridge National Labs has unveiled the 200 petaflop Summit supercomputer. The USA has retaken the world’s most powerful computer. They have smartest artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer and reached a major computing milestone.

The USA has the best supercomputer for the first time since 2013, when China introduced the 34 PetaFLOP NUDT Tianhe-2 and then in 2016 the 93 petaFLOP Sunway TaihuLight.

It is capable of performing 200 quadrillion calculations per second — or 200 petaflops — making it the fastest in the world.
