China university knocks US off its perch with supercomputer - The Australian

A CHINESE university has built the world's fastest supercomputer, almost doubling the speed of the US machine that previously claimed the top spot and underlining China's rise as a science and technology power. The semi-annual TOP500 listing of the world's fastest supercomputers, released on Monday, says the Tianhe-2 - a creation of the National University of Defence Technology in central China's Changsha city - is capable of sustained computing of 33.86 petaflops, or 33,860 trillion calculations, per second. via Science - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNHGgTBCM7_mAHOlfV9lyjQX9JuhsQ&url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/china-university-knocks-us-off-its-perch-with-supercomputer/story-e6frgcjx-1226665896597
