China and United States Tied for Number of Top Supercomputers


In the most recent TOP500 supercomputer positioning, distributed today, China's supercomputers are still at the highest point of the heap—however the United States has gotten up to speed in number. Both countries now assert 171 frameworks in the positioning. Furthermore, they are generally equivalent as far as crude registering power.

Back in November 2015, China had 108 and the United States 200, or 40 percent—its least division since 1993, when the rundown was made. From that point forward, China has kept on rising, edging past the United States interestingly with 167 frameworks contrasted with 165 in the United States in June.

Both countries added new frameworks to tie regarding the number supercomputers that rank. They are trailed by Germany, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom. China holds 33.3 percent of the aggregate in total Linpack execution and the United States leads somewhat with 33.9 percent.

The majority of the main 10 supercomputers stayed unaltered, with China's Sunway TaihuLight as yet checking in first at 93 petaflops and Tianhe-2 still second at 34 petaflops. Two new supercomputers joined the main 10: the Cori supercomputer at Berkeley Lab's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center—skating into the number 5 space with 14 petaflops—and the Oakforest-PACS at Japan's Joint Center for Advanced High Performance Computing—taking the number six opening with 13.6 petaflops. Others frameworks tumbled to make room, with the exception of Piz Daint at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center, which kept up the number eight position because of recently introduced GPUs.

Since last November, the aggregate execution of every one of the 500 PCs on the rundown is 60 percent higher—672 petaflops.
