World Interesting

Here are the list of the fastest supercomputer in the world. Supercomputer is one symbol of excellence in the world’s most advanced nations, and is known as future machines. It is the most powerful machines in the world who can do the most complex calculations, only in the blink of eyes. From monitoring the preparedness and resilience of American nuclear weapons, predict weather and earthquakes with high precision, mapping the human genome is very complex, and of course speed up the newest development accelerated. The  technologies of supercomputer has potentially reached speeds of up to 1 petaflops.
1 Petaflops, is not 1 million calculations per second, not also 1 billion calculations per second, and rather than 1 trillion calculations per second. 1 petaflop is a quadrillion calculations per second  or 1,000 trillion calculations per second. Here are the  list of Top 7 fastest supercomputer In The World.

1. Jaguar (Cray)
processor Cray XT5 224162, 1759.00 – 2331.00 T flops (2,3Pflops), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, united states, Operating system: Linux.

2. Roadrunner (IBM)
processor Blade Center QS22/LS21
122400 (Cell/Opteron) 1042.00 – 1375.78 T flops (1.3 p Flops), Los Alamos National Laboratory United States, Operating system: Linux.

3. Kraken (Cray)
Processor Cray XT5 98928, 831.70- 1028.85 T flops, National Institute for Computational Sciences, United States, Operating system: Linux.

4. JUGENE (IBM)
