3．Sunway-TaihuLight

China's new supercomputing system, Sunway-TaihuLight, was named the world's fastest computer at the International Supercomputing Conference in Germany on June 20.

Able to perform 93 quadrillion calculations per second, Sunway TaihuLight bumped China's Tianhe-2 from the number one spot on the list of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world. Sunway TaihuLight, with 10,649,600 computing cores comprising 40,960 nodes, is twice as fast and three times as efficient as Tianhe-2, which performs only 33.86 quadrillion calculations per second.
