THE WORLD’S FASTEST COMPUTER AND ‘MADE IN CHINA

It’s called Tianhe -2 , is the new fastest computer in the world. To make it to the National University of Defense Technology of Guangzhou , southern China.
The new device is ranked in first place in the Top 500 compiled every two years by the University of Mannheim in Germany, which measures the power of the most advanced computer systems , based on the amount of linear equations solved in a second by the computer system .
Tianhe -2 or ‘ Milky Way ‘ , is able to perform 33,863 trillions of calculations per second , which is equivalent to 33.86 petaflops . While the American computer which is ranked second produces ‘ only ‘ 17,590 trillions of calculations per second. Thanks to the supremacy of super- computers, technology has so wrought Chinese American technology .
In any case , the dominance of American computer does not shut down : between 500 265 computers are classified those made ​​in the USA .
Although Tianhe -2 is the fastest computer in the world there are many who criticize him. Some experts noted that the methodology of compilation ( known as Linpack benchmark) of the ranking does not calculate other factors such as the speed of data transfer from one part of the system to another . This speed can affect the actual performance of your computer.

Tianhe uses a mixed technology with Intel processors and CPUs ( Central Processing Units) made ​​from the same University in Guangdong.
As with regard to energy efficiency, Tianhe -2 needs more than 17 million kilowatts of power, more than twice its American rival , who uses only 8200 kilowatts.
