China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer, with a performance of 33.86
petaflops per second (Pflops/s), retained the title of the world's fastest
system for the third consecutive time, according to a biannual Top500 list of
supercomputers released Monday.
Tianhe-2, developed by China's National University of
Defense Technology and deployed at the National Supercomputer Center in
Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, has held the title for
China since June 2013.
