Share of processor families in TOP500 supercomputers by year [needs update]. As of June 2022, all supercomputers on TOP500 are 64-bit supercomputers, mostly based on CPUs with the x86-64 instruction set architecture, 384 of which are Intel EMT64-based and 101 of which are AMD AMD64-based, with the latter including the top eight supercomputers. 15 other supercomputers are all based on RISC ...
Computer Performance R; 1938 Germany: Personal research and development Berlin, Germany Konrad Zuse: Z1: 1.00 IPS [1] 1940 Z2: 1.25 IPS [2] 1941 Z3: 20.00 IPS [3] 1944 United Kingdom: Bletchley Park: Tommy Flowers and his team, Post Office Research Station: Colossus: 5.00 kIPS [4] 1945 United States: University of Pennsylvania: Moore School of ...
The SX-3/44R was announced by NEC Corporation in 1989 and a year later earned the fastest-in-the-world title with a four-processor model. [28] However, Fujitsu's Numerical Wind Tunnel supercomputer used 166 vector processors to gain the top spot in 1994. It had a peak speed of 1.7 gigaflops per processor.

Loosely knit communities like OpenCores and RISC-V have recently announced fully open CPU architectures such as the OpenRISC which can be readily implemented on FPGAs or in custom produced chips, by anyone, with no license fees, and even established processor makers like Sun Microsystems have released processor designs (e.g., OpenSPARC) under ...
Athlon is a family of CPUs designed by AMD, targeted mostly at the desktop market.The name "Athlon" has been largely unused as just "Athlon" since 2001 when AMD started naming its processors Athlon XP, but in 2008 began referring to single core 64-bit processors from the AMD Athlon X2 and AMD Phenom product lines.
Summit components POWER9 wafer with TOP500 certificates for Summit and Sierra. Summit or OLCF-4 was a supercomputer developed by IBM for use at Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), a facility at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, United States of America.
Titan has 18,688 nodes (4 nodes per blade, 24 blades per cabinet), [39] each containing a 16-core AMD Opteron 6274 CPU with 32 GB of DDR3 ECC memory and an Nvidia Tesla K20X GPU with 6 GB GDDR5 ECC memory. [40] There are a total of 299,008 processor cores, and a total of 693.6 TiB of CPU and GPU RAM. [36]
