A Chinese scientific research center has built the fastest supercomputer ever made, replacing the United States as maker of the swiftest machine, and giving China bragging rights as a technology superpower.
The computer, known as Tianhe-1A, has 1.4 times the horsepower of the current top computer, which is at a national laboratory in Tennessee, as measured by the standard test used to gauge how well the systems handle mathematical calculations
Although the official list of the top 500 fastest machines, which comes out every six months, is not due to be completed by Dongarra until next week, the Chinese computer blows away the existing No. 1 machine.
