This is a historical list of fastest computers and includes computers and supercomputers which were considered the fastest in the world at the time they were built. Year Country of site
In November 2014, it was announced that the United States was developing two new supercomputers to exceed China's Tianhe-2 in its place as world's fastest supercomputer. The two computers, Sierra and Summit, will each exceed Tianhe-2's 55 peak petaflops. Summit, the more powerful of the two, will deliver 150–300 peak petaflops. [79]
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Frontier, or OLCF-5, is the world's first exascale supercomputer. It is hosted at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) in Tennessee, United States and became operational in 2022. As of November 2024, Frontier is the second fastest supercomputer in the world.
It became the fastest supercomputer in the world in the June 2020 TOP500 list [6] as well as becoming the first ARM architecture-based computer to achieve this. [7] At this time it also achieved 1.42 exaFLOPS using the mixed fp16/fp64 precision HPL-AI benchmark. It started regular operations in 2021. [8]
The PC maker and the agency today unveiled Summit, which is the newest supercomputer from the DoE. IBM says that Summit is currently the world’s “most powerful and smartest scientific ...
It reached 1.9 gigaflops and was the world's fastest supercomputer, and the first to break the gigaflop barrier. [25] The Cray-2 was a totally new design. It did not use chaining and had a high memory latency, but used much pipelining and was ideal for problems that required large amounts of memory. [23]
The U.S. government is aiming to build the fastest supercomputer in the world by 2025. Currently the record is held by China, which has been exploring extreme processing speed technology for years.
Aurora is an exascale supercomputer that was sponsored by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and designed by Intel and Cray for the Argonne National Laboratory. [2] It was briefly the second fastest supercomputer in the world from November 2023 to June 2024. The cost was estimated in 2019 to be US$500 million. [3]
