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.

Are you seriously that fucking dumb Brits?
Yes, they are.
Memes, not even once.

We have a serious fascist-liberal problem here. They've shown their true colours recently. This is a futile effort and as another anon has pointed out only a third of the signatures are British if you look at the petition Jason data

Women and shitskins have no moral agency. White men need to get their mind around the idea that, when it comes to women, there is no right or wrong. Right and wrong are concepts developed by white men, for use in dealing with other white men.
Who are you going to vote tomorrow, fellow spanish mates?

Who's hoping for a Trump/Farage/Le Pen/ Putin alliance? MAGA, MEGA, reclaim Constantinople and destroy Krauts once more?
>>78661349
i literally can't understand what the comic is trying to convey
trump = wolves? okay
Farage is a fringe idiot, just like Le Penis. They can only dream of Trump's popularity.

When did the meme of cool/smooth/strong black people and lame/nerdy/weak white people start?
It can't have happened naturally, because black people acting black seem legitimately pretty goofy and it would have required a lot of propaganda to make people believe it.
Obviously we know who is responsible for that, but when exactly did it start? What were the key movies or shows to push this narrative.
It can't also be simply the also popular meme about poor people being more authentic than rich people, since poor white people are being portrayed very negatively as well?
So how did it start /pol/?
MTV and american media in general are responsible for this phenomenon in the western world. Who doesn't watch american shows? They kept on pushing and pushing the black (thug) narrative until we ended up here.
That being said, """" white """" people also started taking a backseat and resting too much on their laurels so they're partly to blame too.

Ghetto culture (i.e. nigger culture) became mainstream during the eighties and ninties
>>78661436
I see an intelligent white man similar to me and an ape with a shitty unintelligible tattoo who has nothing to brag with but his physical capacities.
So I'm quite fine with this stupid media.
So what will Americans do if Trump loses and Clinton wins?
The Orlando attack and the unexpected turn of events at the UK ballot, I think, is going to give him the momentum to close the last stretch. Not to mention there is still at least 5 months till the elections and we all know religion of peace will strike at least two times during that period

Trump was chosen by God.
He cannot lose.

how is such a thing even possible?
With the UK leaving the EU, Spain is already calling for sovereignty over Gibraltar. Are we about to witness a "Cold War" of sorts over Great Britain's baby? What will come of this?
They'll have to pry it from their cold dead hands, but I'm sure Spain has already learned their lesson when it comes to warring with Great Britain lmao
>>78662197
>Cold war
No it'll just be the Falklands war on a much smaller scale.
Well they should do like in Crimea
Referendum and ask people which country they want to be under
They'll vote Spain/EU
>voting to fuck over your own economy
>voting to split up the UK
HA HA
their economy is fine. You do realize that Britain was doing great prior to the EU, right?
