China develops supercomputer 10x faster than the current best
China is
building the best computer ever, which will be 10 times faster than the current
world's faster, also made in China.
It's the 1st prototype of a supercomputer capable of performing a trillion (1. 000.000.000.000.000.000) million calculations per second, surpassing the Sunway TaihuLight, the current fastest.
The Tianhe-3 "will help solve some of the world's most demanding scientific challenges, with greater speed, accuracy and range, " said Meng, Director of China's National Supercomputer Center, quoted by China Daily.
The supercomputer could, for example, analyze the distribution of pollution levels at national level (current models only support one district), simulate earthquakes and epidemic outbreaks in a more detailed way, allowing the authorities to act better, according to China Daily.
Tianhe-1, the first Chinese supercomputer, is still in full swing and completes more than 1400 tasks per day, including solving "star and cell " issues, says Meng.
Liu Guangming assured that the Tianhe-3 will generate annual profits of more than 10 billion yuan (about 1,372 million euros).
