Abstract

In June, the ranks of the Top500 list were rearranged, and the title of world's most powerful supercomputer was handed off to a new machine-China's Sunway TaihuLight. The Wuxi-based machine can perform the Linpack Benchmark-a long-standing arbiter of supercomputer prowess-at a rate of 93 petaflops, or 93 quadrillion floating-point operations per second. This performance is more than twice that of the previous record holder, China's Tianhe-2. What's more, TaihuLight achieves this capacity while consuming 2.4 megawatts less power than Tianhe-2.
