Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
China
builds world's most powerful computer
Another
top of the list by China. This time it’s probably much more significant than
others such as the number of smartphones or cars sold, the length of high-speed
railways or the amount of online sales a day. It is in computer science and
technology.
According
to the Top500 list, a new supercomputer developed in China performs more calculations
per second than any other computer in the world, faster than the previous
leader also produced in China.
Supercomputers
can be used for weather forecast, aero or space dynamics design, biological analysis,
chemical compounds simulations or any other field that requires super
high-speed computer simulations.
China
has now 167 computers on the list, surpassing the US’s 165. What’s more surprising
is that the Chinese supercomputer uses domestically developed chips. In other
word, it’s a pure Chinese blood supercomputer.
Enjoy
reading and thinking how advanced China’s computer technology and industry will
be like in the next decade.
