China wins supercomputer crown for eighth time

中国连续第8次蝉联超算冠军

BEIJING: For the eight consecutive year, China has retained the top spot in the list of the world’s fastest supercomputers for its ‘Sunway TaihuLight’ which can perform 93 million billion calculations per second, media report said on Wednesday.

TaihuLight, the massive supercomputer, built entirely using processors designed and made in China has been crowned as the world’s fastest, state-run Xinhua news agency quoted the latest edition of the semiannual Top500 list of supercomputers released on Monday.

据报道，中国连续第8年蝉联世界最快超算冠军，“神威·太湖之光”以每秒9.3亿亿次的浮点运算速度夺冠。

“神威·太湖之光”完全是用国产设计制造的处理器建起来的，被评为世界运算速度最快的超算，新华社引述最新的全球超级计算机500强（TOP500）名单。

TaihuLight made its appearance in June, replacing the former champion, Tianhe-2, also a Chinese system but built based on Intel chips. TaihuLight is capable of performing 93 million billion calculations per second (petaflop/s).

That is almost three times as fast as Tianhe-2, which had claimed No 1 spot in the Top500 list for the past three years.

“神威·太湖之光”是在6月份首次亮相的，它取代了前超算冠军天河2号，后者也是中国的超级计算机，不过是用英特尔芯片制造的。

“神威·太湖之光”每秒能运行9.3亿亿次的浮点运算，速度几乎是天河2号的3倍。天河2号过去三年一直蝉联全球超级计算机500强榜首。

That means a Chinese supercomputer has topped the rankings for eight times in a row, indicating the rise of China in the high performance computing (HPC) field, the report said.

这意味着，中国超算已经连续第8次蝉联冠军，从中可以看出中国超算领域的崛起。

China is mighty and Americans arrogance that much difference in technology too.

India never had a leader with a clear vision for the nation. Nation building never happened in India … !! … This is what happens when people vote for the most corrupt and incompetent Khangress party for over sixty years … !!

印度从来就没出现过一位有着清晰愿景的领袖，国家建设在印度从来就不存在

过去60年多年里，人们把票投给最腐败最无能的国大党，结果就这样了

那些老是唱反调的人，难道你们不希望印度有当今中国的位置吗？

印度的超算在哪里？

INDIA NEVER PLANNED TO BUILD A SUPER COMPUTER……
OUR PARAM 8000 CAME OUT OF NECESSITY AS USA BANNED CRAY SUPER COMPUTER IMPORT TO INDIA QUOTING THAT IT COULD BE USED FOR NUCLEAR MISSILES……..
Chinese TaihuLight is capable of performing 93 million billion calculations per second (petaflop/s)…………
EXAFLOP computing refers to computing systems capable of at least one exaFLOPS, or a billion billion calculations per second. ……….
India must invest money for the EXAFLOP range –it is a piece of cake , if we have the political will……….
In computing, FLOPS -an acronym for FLoating-point Operations Per Second– is a measure of computer performance, useful in fields of scientific calculations…………..
China”s first exascale supercomputer will enter service by 2020 …..
The combined supercomputing power of the nation is ONLY 5.39 Peta Flops…………
India”s fastest supercomputer, PARAM Yuva II, is ranked at number 165 and peaks at 524 teraflops -PATHETIC -…….-even saudi arabia is ahead of us……….. One petaflop is equal to 1,000 teraflops…….

印度从来就没有制定建造超级计算机的计划

我们的PARAM 8000完全是被美国逼出来的，美国禁止向印度出口超级计算机，担心印度用来搞核导弹。

中国的神威太湖之光每秒能运行9.3亿亿次的浮点运算

中国首台百亿亿次级的超算将在2020年启动

印度运算速度最快的PARAM Yuva II排第165名，峰值每秒万亿次浮点运算，悲哀

就连沙特也领先我们
