Highlights of Top10 supercomputers
0 
A Chinese supercomputer was ranked the world's fastest machine in a list issued Sunday by U.S. and European researchers. The following are highlights from the top 10 supercomputer in the list.
The new Chinese Tianhe-1A system is the new No. 1 on the TOP500 and clearly in the lead with 2.57 petaflop/s performance.
The TOP10 features five new systems, four of which show more than one petaflop/s Linpack performance which bring the total number of petaflops systems up to seven.
The Chinese Nebulae system, which had its debut in the TOP500 only six months ago is at No. 3 and the second Chinese system in the TOP10.
Tsubame 2.0 is new, coming in at No. 4.
At No. 5 is a new Cray XE6 system installed at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This is the third U.S. system ever to break the petaflop/s barrier after RoadRunner (No.7) and Jaguar (No. 2).
New to the list are Hopper (No. 5) and Cielo (No. 10), both Cray machines.
The other new system is at Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission in France (No. 6).
The U.S. only has five systems in the TOP10, Nos. 2, 5, 7, , and 10. The others are in China, Japan, France and Germany.
