Supercomputer is defined by the thousands or more processors, can calculate large and complex issue ordinary computer and server computer that can not be completed. As a "modern science and technology brains", supercomputers have become solving major engineering and scientific problems difficult to replace the tool.
Tianhe-2 has entered a stable phase applications, is offering ultra-high capacity compute acceleration of all walks of life, the system itself is no longer anything, performance or maximum 33.83PFlops (quadrillion floating-point calculations).
In fact, the Tianhe-2 continue to win and is not necessarily a good thing, because for reasons of economy, technology and other areas, today's top super operator has entered a period of stagnation. Perhaps because China's Supercomputer building a more rational, and no longer blindly launched a new project.
The top ten, five sets of United States, China, Japan, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Germany each set. Use Intel Xeon Phi accelerated program sets (1/7), using two NVIDIA GPU acceleration program (2/6).
