U.S. finally reclaims world’s top supercomputer throne with 16 petaflop DOE cluster
Posted by VentureBeat
Sorry, Japan, America is once again home to the world’s fastest supercomputer — for the first time since November 2009.
The newly created “Sequoia” cluster at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scored a whopping 16.32 petaflops with the Linpack benchmark, according to a new list released by Top 500 Supercomputer Sites today. The cluster ousts Fujitsu’s “K Computer” in Japan from the number one spot. That computer now sits at the number two spot with 10.51 petaflops.

Greplin reinvents itself as Cue, organizes your Internet life
