China now has more high-performance supercomputers than ever before, again besting the United States in global rankings, a supercomputer tracking organisation said.
The standing corresponds with China’s growing reputation as the global leader in supercomputers, as the Asian power prepares to launch in June 2018 a prototype exascale computing machine — a « super supercomputer ».
Some 202 of the world’s fastest supercomputers are in China — compared with 143 in the U. S. — according to Top500, a site that has tracked supercomputer development for more than two decades.
The list, produced twice a year, rates supercomputers based on speed in a benchmark test by experts from Germany and the U. S.
« It is the largest number of supercomputers China has ever claimed on the Top500 ranking, » the survey said, « with the U.
