Top 10 Fastest Computers or supercomputers in the World - How much faster are they compared to a PC or iPad Pro 2016
10. Stampede (USA)
9. Shaheen II (Saudi Arabia)
8. Hazel Hen (Germany)
7. Piz Daint (Switzerland)
6. Trinity (USA)
5. Mira (USA)
4. K Computer (Japan)

Linpack benchmark software here : https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-benchmarks-suite
If you need to model things like the worlds weather, nuclear reactions, molecular dynamics or simulate the first few seconds after the big bang, you’re going to need some pretty serious computing power but just how much more powerful are the top 10 supercomputers compared to the PC on your desktop or the latest iPad Pro for example.
A FLOP is a calculation that would be either adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing 2 numbers with decimal points in them.
For example, 10.545 multiplied by 6.387 would be a single FLOP. Modern computers can do this billions of times per second.
At the time of making this video Feb 2016 the latest iPad Pro with the A9x dual core cpu is capable of about 1.5 gigaflops, that’s 1.5 thousand million FLOPS per second
Typical $1000 pc with a single Intel 5820 6 core CPU is capable of around 100 GigaFLOPS that’s 66 times more that the iPad pro
Because supercomputers are so much powerful they are measured in PetaFLOPS. 1 PetaFLOP is equal to 1000 TeraFLOPs and 1 TeraFLOP is = 1000 GigaFLOPS and remember our PC was 100 GigaFLOPS and the Ipad Pro 1.5 GigaFLOPS
A petaflop is equal to about one million billion calculations per second. One estimate suggests it would take a human about 32,000,000 years to complete the same task .

Rutgers Builds Solar-Powered Computing Center Sixteen polycrystalline solar panels on top of a novel computing facility were recently installed on the roof of Rutgers?s School of Engineering Building so that researchers, Ricardo Bianchini and Thu D. Nguyen, can study how to effectively manage computing and data processing with solar-generated electricity. They will be using the system Parasol for this research because it permits ?free cooling,? that does not require energy-intensive compressors or chillers. The system also monitors temperature and energy consumption of all components, and turns off devices that are not in use. The computing facility was funded by Michael J. Pazzani, vice president for research and economic development while research grants were awarded by National Science Foundation and Google Inc. Propane Autogas Fuels School Buses in Hall County The Hall County School System was recently recognized as Georgia?s first school district to fuel their 20 Blue Bird Propane-Powered Vision school buses with propane autogas. Propane autogas has clean-burning properties, an abundant supply in the country and is cheaper compared to diesel. It costs less than $2.00 per gallon to fuel with propane autogas. Propane autogas also reduces maintenance costs and extend engine life potential due to its clean-burning properties. SPX To Provide Dry Cooling System for Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant SPX Corporation will be supplying an air-cooled condenser (ACC) for a new 1.3 GW natural gas-fired, combined cycle power plant in Warren County, Virginia. This new power plant has three combustion turbines and a steam turbine to be powered solely by natural gas, making it the cleanest fossil fuel-fired facilities in the nation. This power plant owned by Dominion Virginia Power is expected to be one of the largest combined cycle power plants ever installed in the Americas that can generate enough energy to power about 325,000 homes . Xiangqi Hydropwer Unit 2 Completes Trial Run Huaneng Power International, Inc, one of China?s largest power producers, recently announced that its Hunan Yongzhou Xiangqi Hydropower Station has completed a trial run in one of its 20 MW generating unit (Unit 2). This new addition increases the company?s total controlled generation capacity from 60,375 MW to 60,395 MW, and total equity-based generation from 55,350MW to 55,370MW. Algae. Tec Commences Australian Biofuel Facility Commissioning Algae.Tec is an advanced algae to biofuels company with a high-yield enclosed algae growth and harvesting system.

China's Tianhe-2, a supercomputer capable of operating as fast as 33.86 petaflops per second (Pflop/s), remains the world's most powerful system, according to a biannual Top500 list of supercomputers released Monday.
Tianhe-2, developed by China's National University of Defense Technology, puts China back at the top of the list in June. It is almost twice as fast as the next computer on the list, the Titan of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), which has a performance of 17.59 Pflop/s.
"The Tianhe-2 is a very powerful computing system," said Jack Dongarra, professor of the University of Tennessee and Top500 editor. "It has almost two times the performance of the number 2 system, Titan. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the number 1 position for another year."
In addition to its computing chips, Tianhe-2 uses technologies that have almost all been developed and built in China, including the interconnect system, operating system, front-end processors and software.
Now Tianhe-2 has played a significant role in the fields of genetic engineering and weather forecast.
"When we try to make an exterior design for a new-type car, we should do real collision experiment several hundred times, which would take a long time (about two years) and cost much. But based on Tianhe-2, we can set up a simulated environment for collision experiment, which would need only two or three real collisions to set up the design of a new-type car within two or three months," said Tan Yusong, researcher of the National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou.
The major challenge is for China to develop the computing chip technology so it can build the whole computer with Chinese parts. Application software also presents a great challenge, Dongarra said.
In November 2010, Tianhe-2's predecessor, Tianhe-1A, took the first spot but was overtaken by Japan's K computer six months later. Tianhe-1A is now No.12 on the list.
Sequoia, installed at the DOE's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is again the No. 3 system with a performance of 17.17 Pflop/s. Japan's K computer is the No. 4 system with 10.51 Pflop/s, followed by Mira, installed at the DOE's Argonne National Laboratory, which has a performance of 8.59 Pflop/s.
The new entry in the Top10, Piz Daint, is at No. 6. The machine installed at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center achieved 6.27 Pflop/s. It is now the most powerful system in Europe and also the most energy efficient system in the Top10.
The total combined performance of all 500 systems on the list is 250 Pflop/s, according to the list. Half of the total performance is achieved by the top 17 systems on the list, with the other half of the total performance spread among the remaining 483 systems.
Overall, the United States is "clearly the leading consumer" of the supercomputing systems with 265 entries on the list. As a nation, China holds the No. 2 position with 63 entries, behind the United States but ahead of Japan, Britain, France and Germany, the list showed.
The Top500 list, released twice a year since June 1993, is considered the authoritative ranking of the world's supercomputers. It is compiled on the basis of the machines' performance on the so-called Linpack benchmark by Dongarra and other experts from the United States and Germany.

Top 10 Fastest Computers or supercomputers in the World - How much faster are they compared to a PC or iPad Pro 2016 10. Stampede (USA) 9. Shaheen II (Saudi Arabia) 8. Hazel Hen (Germany) 7. Piz Daint (Switzerland) 6. Trinity (USA) 5. Mira (USA) 4. K Computer (Japan) 3. Sequoia (USA) 2. Titan (USA) 1. Tianhe-2 Milky Way 2 (China) Linpack benchmark software here : https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-benchmarks-suite If you need to model things like the worlds weather, nuclear reactions, molecular dynamics or simulate the first few seconds after the big bang, you’re going to need some pretty serious computing power but just how much more powerful are the top 10 supercomputers compared to the PC on your desktop or the latest iPad Pro for example. A FLOP is a calculation that would be either adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing 2 numbers with decimal points in them. For example, 10.545 multiplied by 6.387 would be a single FLOP. Modern computers can do this billions of times per second. At the time of making this video Feb 2016 the latest iPad Pro with the A9x dual core cpu is capable of about 1.5 gigaflops, that’s 1.5 thousand million FLOPS per second Typical $1000 pc with a single Intel 5820 6 core CPU is capable of around 100 GigaFLOPS that’s 66 times more that the iPad pro Because supercomputers are so much powerful they are measured in PetaFLOPS. 1 PetaFLOP is equal to 1000 TeraFLOPs and 1 TeraFLOP is = 1000 GigaFLOPS and remember our PC was 100 GigaFLOPS and the Ipad Pro 1.5 GigaFLOPS A petaflop is equal to about one million billion calculations per second.

1:43World's Fastest Supercomputer
World's Fastest SupercomputerWorld's Fastest Supercomputer
China's Tianhe-2, a supercomputer capable of operating as fast as 33.86 petaflops per second (Pflop/s), remains the world's most powerful system, according to a biannual Top500 list of supercomputers released Monday. Tianhe-2, developed by China's National University of Defense Technology, puts China back at the top of the list in June. It is almost twice as fast as the next computer on the list, the Titan of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), which has a performance of 17.59 Pflop/s. "The Tianhe-2 is a very powerful computing system," said Jack Dongarra, professor of the University of Tennessee and Top500 editor. "It has almost two times the performance of the number 2 system, Titan. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the number 1 position for another year." In addition to its computing chips, Tianhe-2 uses technologies that have almost all been developed and built in China, including the interconnect system, operating system, front-end processors and software. Now Tianhe-2 has played a significant role in the fields of genetic engineering and weather forecast. "When we try to make an exterior design for a new-type car, we should do real collision experiment several hundred times, which would take a long time (about two years) and cost much. But based on Tianhe-2, we can set up a simulated environment for collision experiment, which would need only two or three real collisions to set up the design of a new-type car within two or three months," said Tan Yusong, researcher of the National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou. The major challenge is for China to develop the computing chip technology so it can build the whole computer with Chinese parts. Application software also presents a great challenge, Dongarra said. In November 2010, Tianhe-2's predecessor, Tianhe-1A, took the first spot but was overtaken by Japan's K computer six months later. Tianhe-1A is now No.12 on the list. Sequoia, installed at the DOE's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is again the No. 3 system with a performance of 17.17 Pflop/s. Japan's K computer is the No. 4 system with 10.51 Pflop/s, followed by Mira, installed at the DOE's Argonne National Laboratory, which has a performance of 8.59 Pflop/s. The new entry in the Top10, Piz Daint, is at No. 6. The machine installed at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center achieved 6.27 Pflop/s. It is now the most powerful system in Europe and also the most energy efficient system in the Top10. The total combined performance of all 500 systems on the list is 250 Pflop/s, according to the list. Half of the total performance is achieved by the top 17 systems on the list, with the other half of the total performance spread among the remaining 483 systems. Overall, the United States is "clearly the leading consumer" of the supercomputing systems with 265 entries on the list. As a nation, China holds the No. 2 position with 63 entries, behind the United States but ahead of Japan, Britain, France and Germany, the list showed. The Top500 list, released twice a year since June 1993, is considered the authoritative ranking of the world's supercomputers. It is compiled on the basis of the machines' performance on the so-called Linpack benchmark by Dongarra and other experts from the United States and Germany.

Linpack benchmark software here : https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-benchmarks-suite
If you need to model things like the worlds weather, nuclear reactions, molecular dynamics or simulate the first few seconds after the big bang, you’re going to need some pretty serious computing power but just how much more powerful are the top 10 supercomputers compared to the PC on your desktop or the latest iPad Pro for example.
A FLOP is a calculation that would be either adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing 2 numbers with decimal points in them.
For example, 10.545 multiplied by 6.387 would be a single FLOP. Modern computers can do this billions of times per second.
At the time of making this video Feb 2016 the latest iPad Pro with the A9x dual core cpu is capable of about 1.5 gigaflops, that’s 1.5 thousand million FLOPS per second
Typical $1000 pc with a single Intel 5820 6 core CPU is capable of around 100 GigaFLOPS that’s 66 times more that the iPad pro
Because supercomputers are so much powerful they are measured in PetaFLOPS. 1 PetaFLOP is equal to 1000 TeraFLOPs and 1 TeraFLOP is = 1000 GigaFLOPS and remember our PC was 100 GigaFLOPS and the Ipad Pro 1.5 GigaFLOPS
A petaflop is equal to about one million billion calculations per second. One estimate suggests it would take a human about 32,000,000 years to complete the same task .

Rutgers Builds Solar-Powered Computing Center Sixteen polycrystalline solar panels on top of a novel computing facility were recently installed on the roof of Rutgers?s School of Engineering Building so that researchers, Ricardo Bianchini and Thu D. Nguyen, can study how to effectively manage computing and data processing with solar-generated electricity. They will be using the system Parasol for this research because it permits ?free cooling,? that does not require energy-intensive compressors or chillers.

Rutgers Builds Solar-Powered Computing Center Sixteen polycrystalline solar panels on top of a novel computing facility were recently installed on the roof of Rutgers?s School of Engineering Building so that researchers, Ricardo Bianchini and Thu D. Nguyen, can study how to effectively manage computing and data processing with solar-generated electricity. They will be using the system Parasol for this research because it permits ?free cooling,? that does not require energy-intensive compressors or chillers. The system also monitors temperature and energy consumption of all components, and turns off devices that are not in use. The computing facility was funded by Michael J.

China's Tianhe-2, a supercomputer capable of operating as fast as 33.86 petaflops per second (Pflop/s), remains the world's most powerful system, according to a biannual Top500 list of supercomputers released Monday.
Tianhe-2, developed by China's National University of Defense Technology, puts China back at the top of the list in June. It is almost twice as fast as the next computer on the list, the Titan of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), which has a performance of 17.59 Pflop/s.
"The Tianhe-2 is a very powerful computing system," said Jack Dongarra, professor of the University of Tennessee and Top500 editor. "It has almost two times the performance of the number 2 system, Titan. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the number 1 position for another year."
In addition to its computing chips, Tianhe-2 uses technologies that have almost all been developed and built in China, including the interconnect system, operating system, front-end processors and software.
Now Tianhe-2 has played a significant role in the fields of genetic engineering and weather forecast.
"When we try to make an exterior design for a new-type car, we should do real collision experiment several hundred times, which would take a long time (about two years) and cost much. But based on Tianhe-2, we can set up a simulated environment for collision experiment, which would need only two or three real collisions to set up the design of a new-type car within two or three months," said Tan Yusong, researcher of the National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou.
The major challenge is for China to develop the computing chip technology so it can build the whole computer with Chinese parts. Application software also presents a great challenge, Dongarra said.
In November 2010, Tianhe-2's predecessor, Tianhe-1A, took the first spot but was overtaken by Japan's K computer six months later. Tianhe-1A is now No.12 on the list.
Sequoia, installed at the DOE's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is again the No. 3 system with a performance of 17.17 Pflop/s. Japan's K computer is the No. 4 system with 10.51 Pflop/s, followed by Mira, installed at the DOE's Argonne National Laboratory, which has a performance of 8.59 Pflop/s.
The new entry in the Top10, Piz Daint, is at No. 6. The machine installed at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center achieved 6.27 Pflop/s. It is now the most powerful system in Europe and also the most energy efficient system in the Top10.
The total combined performance of all 500 systems on the list is 250 Pflop/s, according to the list. Half of the total performance is achieved by the top 17 systems on the list, with the other half of the total performance spread among the remaining 483 systems.
Overall, the United States is "clearly the leading consumer" of the supercomputing systems with 265 entries on the list. As a nation, China holds the No. 2 position with 63 entries, behind the United States but ahead of Japan, Britain, France and Germany, the list showed.
The Top500 list, released twice a year since June 1993, is considered the authoritative ranking of the world's supercomputers. It is compiled on the basis of the machines' performance on the so-called Linpack benchmark by Dongarra and other experts from the United States and Germany.

CQT Annual Symposium: Computing beyond the Age of Moore’s Law (December 2015)
Speaker: Stanley Williams, Hewlett Packard Labs, USA Abstract: With the end of Moore’s Law within sight (really!), what opportunities exist to continue the exponential scaling of computer performance and efficiency into the future? The primary consumers of energy and time in computers today are not the processors, but rather the communication and storage systems in a data center. Even if it were possible to perform computation infinitely fast with zero energy consumption, there would be little change in the power and time required to perform a calculation on the types of ‘big data’ sets that are beginning to dominate information technology. I will describe a path forward with two stages. The first is to change the fundamental structure of a computer from the processor-centric von Neumann ... -

Building Russia's Cloud Computing Platform
Rostelecom is Russia's largest national telecommunications operator, with presence in all Russian regions. In 2011, the organization launched a project to develop a national cloud computing platform. Rostelecom started building its main data center in Moscow, which will become the largest in Russia, around 37 megawatts and 40,000 square meters. The organization will build smaller, 3 MW data centers in regional locations. The success of any data center buildout is defined by how efficient the collaboration is between various project teams. Rostelecom's DC Project Manager Alexander Martynyuk will discuss how his organization is meeting priorities, deadlines and budget on this complex project.

The Computing Universe: Towards the Third Age of Computing
Speaker: Professor Tony Hey, University of Washington Abstract: The talk will start with a look at the origins of ‘computational thinking’ and the rise of computer science from its beginnings with the ENIAC machine. The engine of the computing revolution for the last 40 years or more has been Moore’s Law and the microprocessor. However, after the early struggles with computer hardware, software and applications now take centre stage. In Jeannette Wing’s vision of ‘computational thinking’ shows that computer science is much more than just being able to use a spreadsheet or to program in Python. Algorithms are at the heart of computer science – from Euclid’s classical algorithm to find the Greatest Common Divisor, to PageRank, the ‘billion dollar’ algorithm that launched tech giant Google....

Abstract: With the end of Moore’s Law within sight (really!), what opportunities exist to continue the exponential scaling of computer performance and efficiency into the future? The primary consumers of energy and time in computers today are not the processors, but rather the communication and storage systems in a data center. Even if it were possible to perform computation infinitely fast with zero energy consumption, there would be little change in the power and time required to perform a calculation on the types of ‘big data’ sets that are beginning to dominate information technology. I will describe a path forward with two stages. The first is to change the fundamental structure of a computer from the processor-centric von Neumann paradigm that has dominated for the past seven decades to a memory-driven architecture based on a flat nonvolatile memory space, high bandwidth photonic interconnect and dispersed system-on-chip processors. This is the vision behind The Machine, a major research and development effort currently in progress in Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Once this transformation has been completed, a new era of hybrid computation can begin, which is the motivation behind a new Nanotechnology-Inspired Grand Challenge for Future Computing recently announced by the US White House. One of the drivers for this initiative is the thesis that although our present understanding of the brain is limited, we know enough now to design and build circuits that can accelerate certain computational tasks; and as we learn more about how brains communicate and process information, we will be able to harness that understanding to create a new exponential growth path for computing technology.

Historically, high-end computing, used for the most demanding of problems in computational science, has meant supercomputing, using systems measured by the number of floating-point operations per second they could perform (at least in theory).
In the past few years, this picture has become more complex, both with increased and wider focus on data and with new ways to deliver large scale computing, using cloud computing.
This talk covers some of the issues facing the US research computing community, with a special focus on computing supported by the National Science Foundation, and will take a close look at the gap between data capability and what is achieved by applications on those four supercomputing systems.

Rostelecom is Russia's largest national telecommunications operator, with presence in all Russian regions. In 2011, the organization launched a project to develop a national cloud computing platform. Rostelecom started building its main data center in Moscow, which will become the largest in Russia, around 37 megawatts and 40,000 square meters. The organization will build smaller, 3 MW data centers in regional locations. The success of any data center buildout is defined by how efficient the collaboration is between various project teams. Rostelecom's DC Project Manager Alexander Martynyuk will discuss how his organization is meeting priorities, deadlines and budget on this complex project.

Speaker: Professor Tony Hey, University of Washington
Abstract:
The talk will start with a look at the origins of ‘computational thinking’ and the rise of computer science from its beginnings with the ENIAC machine. The engine of the computing revolution for the last 40 years or more has been Moore’s Law and the microprocessor. However, after the early struggles with computer hardware, software and applications now take centre stage. In Jeannette Wing’s vision of ‘computational thinking’ shows that computer science is much more than just being able to use a spreadsheet or to program in Python.
Algorithms are at the heart of computer science – from Euclid’s classical algorithm to find the Greatest Common Divisor, to PageRank, the ‘billion dollar’ algorithm that launched tech giant Google.
The 1970’s brought the personal computer revolution with a key role played by hobbyists and computer gaming. Turing Award winner Butler Lampson likes to classify the ‘ages’ of computing in terms of the types of applications. For the first thirty years – Lampson’s ‘First Age of Computing’ - computers were primarily used to do complex calculations or ‘simulations’ – from designing air planes to manipulating spreadsheets.
Experiments with networking computers culminated in the Internet and the World Wide Web, giving rise to Lampson’s ‘Second Age of Computing’ over the next thirty years with computers being used for ‘communication’ – exchanging and sharing information. This has led to new types of applications like the Web, search engines and social computing.
We are now entering Butler Lampson’s ‘Third Age of Computing’ – with new applications that act intelligently on our behalf - which Lampson calls ‘embodiment’.
The talk ends with a look at the resurgence of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and speculates where we may be going in the future.
The accompanying book – ‘The Computing Universe: A Journey through a Revolution’ – was inspired by the great communicator and Nobel Prize winning physicist, Richard Feynman. The field of computer science is undoubtedly the ‘science’ that has changed the world most profoundly over the last 50 years. It is strange that although there are many popular books on science – from astronomy to genomics - but very few about computer science. This book is an attempt to redress this imbalance. Its intent is to explain to a general audience how computers work, how we arrived at where we are now, and where we are likely to be going in the future.
