TOKYO - A Japanese supercomputer has won the world's fastest machines. K's supercomputer, made by a company of Fujitsu, is able to make a million desktop computers are connected simultaneously. This works well as shift the Tianhe-1A from China who was perched in the last six months. K 's supercomputing power is three times to be better than a degree holder and capable of performing eight seblumnya quadrilliun calculations every second. quadrilliun is a number followed by 15 zeros, and in computer jargon is known as the speed of 8.2 petaflops.
World's Fastest Computer is managed to be created by Japanese
As reported by MailOnline, (Thursday, 6/23/2011), the previous fastest machine is a Chinese computer that is named 'Tianhe-1A', with 2.507 petaflops and highlights the emergence of Chinese rule in technology and economics. Tianhe-1A engines also deliver the first time that China topped the list of computer speed and wrestle for the title in the United States (U.S.) which has four of the ten world-renowned supercomputers.
Experts say, the development of K machine, which is faster than the five nearest rival, marking a huge leap in Japan's progress in the technology world. "This machine is very impressive and far more powerful than other computers," said Professor Jack Dongarra, who announced a six-monthly list of the world's top supercomputers.
The rating is based speed by running a standard mathematical equations. This demonstrated the superiority of the Japanese to make computers K. With the cost of USD1, 2 billion as evidence of the return of Japan's top computer technology for the first time in seven years.
Developed at the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute of Computing, Kobe, Japan, the giant computer was placed in a climate-controlled structure, in a room like a warehouse. Consists of 672 cabinets full of circuit board that contains nearly 70,000 processor. K supercomputer uses enough energy to power 10,000 homes. Its creators claim the machine is still energy efficient.
"The use of computers of K is expected to have an innovative impact in various fields, ranging from global climate research, meteorology, disaster prevention, and medicine. So that contribute to the creation of a prosperous and safe communities," said a spokesman for the RIKEN institute.
There are five US-made supercomputer that ranked the top 10, including Jaguar system ranked third in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Of the 10 major rankings are in between two machines from China, two from Japan and one from France.
