Which computer has the fastest computing speed?

First of all, I want to tell you that you are absolutely awesome! Unprecedented. But at the same time, I tell you, this is absolutely impossible. First of all: what is a supercomputer? Supercomputers usually refer to computers composed of hundreds of thousands or even more processors, which can calculate large and complex problems that ordinary PCs and servers cannot complete. In order to help you better understand the computing speed of supercomputers, we compare the computing speed of ordinary computers to the walking speed of adults, and then supercomputers reach the speed of rockets. Under the premise of such operation speed, people can predict and explain natural phenomena that could not be experimented before through numerical simulation. If you want to know what a "supercomputer" is, I'll help you find the information: a supercomputer is a computer with the strongest function, the fastest operation speed and the largest storage capacity, which is mostly used in the national high-tech field and cutting-edge technology research, and is an important symbol of the national scientific and technological development level and comprehensive national strength.

With the rapid development of supercomputer's computing speed, it is more and more used in industry, scientific research and academic fields. At present, the number of supercomputers in China is 22 (China 19, Hongkong 1 Taiwan, and Taiwan Province Province, 2), ranking fifth in the world and leading in the world in terms of quantity and running speed. However, in the application field of supercomputers, we still have a big gap with developed countries such as the United States and Germany. How to use supercomputers to serve our industry, scientific research and academic fields has become an important topic for our future research and development. Supercomputer is the embodiment of a country's scientific research strength, which is of great significance to national security, economic and social development. The development of supercomputers and their applications in China has provided a solid foundation and guarantee for China to become a powerful country through science and technology.

Supercomputers, as an element of high-tech development, have long been a competitive weapon in the economy and national defense of all countries in the world. After decades of unremitting efforts by China's scientific and technological workers, China's research and development level of high-performance computers has been significantly improved, making it the third largest research and production country of high-performance computers after the United States and Japan.

The National 863 Software Incubator (Kunming) Base actively strengthens cooperation with the supercomputing core technology and scientists team led by Dr. Chen Shiqing, an academician of the National Academy of Engineering, an academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the "father of the world's super turbo blade computer", and plans to introduce its world-leading supercomputers and related industry solutions with completely independent intellectual property rights. Using the powerful scientific computing, transaction processing and information service capabilities of supercomputers and their powerful engines or platforms to provide information services, integrate resources and work together to meet the needs of complex calculations such as algorithms, equations, modeling and simulation for pollution remediation.

At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, blue gene /L designed by IBM recorded the next peak at the computing speed of 136.8 megabits per second, and then recovered to the highest point. According to IBM, in a complete process, the system should have twice the capacity, that is, the peak performance exceeds 360 trillion times.

Researchers from Germany and the United States publish a list of the 500 most powerful computers twice a year. The latest list appeared at the International Supercomputer Conference in Heidelberg, Germany. These high-end computers are all made by various peculiar manufacturing methods, rather than consisting of standard components. Even so, computers can achieve high speed.

In the past two years, most of the computers close to the top 500 list were composed of ordinary computer hard disks and novel software. But now the situation is different, and some systems are beginning to determine these rankings. For example, the current champion Blue Gene /L is a specially designed system with an unprecedented 65,536 personal processors and an upgradeable template design. This system is not only more dynamic than the traditional system, but also more compact, avoiding power shortage. The blue gene machine named BGW, designed by Thomas J Watson Research Center of IBM, ranks second in the list of the top 500, which further proves the correctness of this design concept. This system is the same as the module design of Blue Gene/L, except that the processor is smaller and can only record the peak processing capacity of 9 1.2 teraflops.

At present, none of the computers manufactured by 1997 have the ability to enter the top 500 list. The hegemony of high-speed computing shows the difference between traditional computer processors and supercomputers. The Japanese government recently announced that it plans to sponsor the development of Teraflops- or petaflop computers with a processing speed of 65,438+0,000, hoping that they can be listed before 2065,438+00.
