China Claims World’s Most Powerful Supercomputer 7th Year In A Row
China has been named the home of the fastest supercomputer for the 7th year in a row.
But for the first time, and what makes this year’s choice unique, is the fact that this year’s winning computer has won using only Chinese designed processors.
The computer based in the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, and named Sunway TaihuLight was designed and developed by the Chinese National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology.
With an ability to process 93 petaflops that also makes it just about three times faster than the previous record setter, the Tianhe-2, also Chinese, which was clocked at being able to process 33.85 petaflops.
The TaihuLight can perform approximately a quadrillion calculations a second, which is much faster than the Tianhe-2, built with US designed processors can achieve. In theory, the TaihuLight could achieve peak a peak performance of 124 petaflops.
That China has been trying to develop a 100 petaflop system (or close enough for it not to really matter) isn’t exactly new, well, news, but it was widely anticipated that the Chinese would use US based Intel company chips to reach the fabled 100 petaflop barrier.
Bad move on the part of the US
However, the US banned Intel from shipping the Xeon chips to Chinese super computer manufacturers last year because they claimed that last year’s winner, the Tianhe-2 was being used for predictive simulations to do with nuclear explosive experiments.
The irony of the embargo is that China just went ahead and upped its own processor development.
As well as claiming the top spot for the world’s most powerful supercomputer for yet another year, 2016 also marks the first year that China has surpassed the US for the first time as being the country with highest number of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, albeit only just. The US has 165, China has 167.
Other countries to make the top 10 included Japan, Germany, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia.
How is it a race when America is talking about the distant future, while China is doing it RIGHT now?
The US ban has merely delayed China by a mere matter of months, and instead of one exascale with US tech, as China's upgrades would have ben this year, 2016 will use not just one domestically designed product, but likely a different one for each project, in addition to Chinese designed technology and advancements.
If anything, the US's schizophrenic, paranoid foreign policies have just helped speed up Chinese advanced tech development and adoption, and caused the US lose quite a contract and gain competitors.
Well the Chinese children go to school 7 days a week so.
Including homework, yes. Chinese always have endless homework to do.
Smarter than you are.
What is Juncker thinking right now?
Mmmh, wine.
"Shit, who will pay all those eastern european shitholes now?"
"If only we had been more tolerant.."
Spain you better beat those Italian grease monkeys.
The world is watching you do not fail us.

Spain will destroy you. I hope we can ban Italians from posting on 4chan for a week as a punishment for losing.
fuck eyetalians
What is an easy way to learn a large amount of vocabulary in a foreign language as fast as possible?
consume foreign media
Getting tossed into the middle of a country
i hear listening to music or something can help in language. but only polish music i know is chopin. what are some good polish music with words?
Those from countries which never developed writing systems are subhuman.
Prove me wrong.
Does quipu count?
>>61347828
Yes.
Are you of Incan descent
No need for writings, everything is memorized. Only disadvantage would be lack of documented history proof, which are required in modern world.

i don't have a pic of that laughing face saved but france lol
Why would anyone want to mass deport Poles?
Poles are absolute bro-tier, they are hard working, white, and have a great sense of humor and culture. I would take a thousand Poles in exchange for every muslim who has washed up on our shores.
Poles should be the last race you want to deport
you don't understand Patrick, the islamization of the UK is done, that's why you see brits hating poles but electing muslims as mayors
The argument is there's too many of them to properly assimilate. Don't buy it myself. Every person of Polish ancestry I know is a toothless drunk, like the rest of my countrymen.

Poles here claim that they are criminals and shit tier people. So I asume brits and poles are right.
In one week the englishmen managed to:
>Leave EU - apparently mostly due to my people migrating to their country
>Disrespect our flag during celebration of some victory in football
Why are you so cocky, England?
Only bydlo scum voted to leave the EU and football is the preserve of the working class, so what do you expect ?
seeing brits hating poles and adoring muslims triggers me every time 2bh
>>61347072
football brings the worst of every country

Is it easy to get a job in Argentina? How do you see fellow Europeans in there?
Does your country have representation in any fighting games?
None. *sobs at the corner* *draws on the dust*

Literally my role model in all things
How can one country be so based?

well, until the scotland referendum at least
The union's been doomed ever since they let Eastern Europe into it, a few countries excluded.
Polacks, Bulgarians... Romanians... Is it really that strange that the UK wants out after having millions of these people come to their country?

Chocolate bars are not considered 'candy' here. Sweets refer to non chocolate confectionery, like wine gums, starburst or w/e, chocolate bars are just called chocolate.
Why is American """""culture""""" so primitive and barbaric?
it isn't.
