Top 5 Best Supercomputers in World


A Supercomputer Is A Computer That Performs At Or Near The Currently Highest Operational Rate For Computers. Traditionally, Supercomputers Have Been Used For Scientific And Engineering Applications That Must Handle Very Large Databases Or Do A Great Amount Of Computation (Or Both). Although Advances Like Multi-Core Processors and Gpgpus (General-Purpose Graphics Processing Units) Have Enabled Powerful Machines for Personal Use

A. Tianhe-2

Tianhe-2 is a supercomputer built by the National University of Defense Technology in China. It can do more than 33,862 million million operations every second. It is the fastest computer in the world. It uses more than three million processor cores. The supercomputer uses 17.8 million watts of power. The cost of construction was 2.4 billion Yuan.

Architecture: - 32,000 Intel Xeon E5-2692 12C with 2.200 GHz 48,000 Xeon Phi 31S1P

Operating system: - Kylin Linux

Memory: - 1,375 TiB (1,000 TiB CPU and 375 TiB coprocessor)

Storage: - 12.4 PB

Speed: - 33.86 PFLOPS


B. Titan

Titan is a supercomputer built by Cray at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for use in a variety of science projects. Titan is an upgrade of Jaguar, a previous supercomputer at Oak Ridge that uses graphics processing units (GPUs) in addition to conventional central processing units (CPUs). Titan is the first such hybrid to perform over 10 petaFLOPS.

Memory: - 693.5 TiB (584 TiB CPU and 109.5 TiB GPU)

Storage : - 40 PB, 1.4 TB/s IO Lustre file system


C. IBM Sequoia

IBM Sequoia is a petascale Blue Gene/Q supercomputer constructed by IBM for the National Nuclear Security Administration as part of the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program (ASC). It was delivered to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in 2011 and was fully deployed in June 2012.

Power: - 7.9 MW

Operating system: - CNK operating system, Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Space: - 3,000 square feet (280 m2)

Memory: - 1.5 PiB

Speed: - 20.13 PFLOPS


D. K Computer

The K computer named for the Japanese word kei, meaning 10 quadrillion (1016) is a supercomputer manufactured by Fujitsu, currently installed at the Riken Advanced Institute for Computational Science campus in Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. The K computer is based on distributed memory architecture with over 80,000 compute nodes. It is used for a variety of applications, including climate research, disaster prevention and medical research.

E. IBM Mira

Mira is a petascale Blue Gene/Q supercomputer. It has a performance of 8.59 petaflops (LINPACK) and consumes 3.9 MW. The supercomputer was constructed by IBM for Argonne National Laboratory's Argonne Leadership Computing Facility with the support of the United States Department of Energy, and partially funded by the National Science Foundation. Mira will be used for scientific research, including studies in the fields of material science, climatology, seismology, and computational chemistry. The supercomputer is being utilized initially for sixteen projects, selected by the Department of Energy.

Power: - 3.9 MW

Operating system: - CNK

Space: - 1,632 sq feet

Memory: - 768 TiB

Speed: - 8.59 petaFLOPS (LINPACK) 10.06 petaFLOPS theoretical peak
