The 5 most powerful computers in the world.
October 8, 2015
Computers There are personal computers like what we have at home, or use at the office. Although this is largely progressed with the arrival of multi-core processors, their power and without any measure to the supercomputers, with hundreds of thousands of cores. The opportunity to meet the 5 most powerful computers in the world, you can imagine what it could give to run a trading robot.
The most powerful computers in the world
The general public became acquainted with supercomputers with the star Deep Blue, the famous supercomputer who defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997 in a rematch. In the same vein there was also the Watson computer, which beat the best players in 2011 at the TV quiz Jeopardy! Models now outmoded, faced with the computing power of new supercomputers, whose power is calculated in peta flop ("floating-point operations per second") for info a flop = 1 million billion operations per second .
1st: Titan Power: 18 PetaFlops USA
Titan is the most powerful of all supercomputers in the world, this computer belonging to China was designed by Cray. With 18 PetaFlops, it is mainly used to carry out scientific modeling, particularly for the development of new nuclear reactors, or to evaluate displacement of the ice sheet. Titan is located in the United States in the state of Tennessee at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
2nd: Sequoia Power: 16 PetaFlops USA
Since 2012 Sequoia puts its computing power at the service of the American nuclear safety agency in the laboratory Lawrence Livermore. Built by IBM and occupying a surface of 300 m², it works with the success of Linux exploitation, it will have been the most powerful computer in the world, before the commissioning of titan.
3rd: K Computer Power: 10 PetaFlops Japan
K Computer is Japan's most powerful computer, a veritable technological showcase for the engineers of the rising sun. His computing power of 10 PetaFlops allowed him to work on the origin of matter and the universe.
4th: Mira Power: 8 PetaFlops USA
Mira is an impressive supercomputer, weighing well over 100 tons, its computing power and the services of the US Department of Energy, although it also participates in many scientific projects with its 8 PetaFlops.
5th: Juqueen Power: 4 PetaFlops Germany
Juqueen is the first European representative in this ranking of the 5 most powerful computers in the world. Juqueen is of German design. Its respectable computing power is accessible via the Prace network designed to pool the computing capabilities of European countries.
