WASHINGTON Taywan Taylor Titans Jersey , June 19 (Xinhua) -- China's Sunway TaihuLight and Tianhe-2 are still the world's fastest and second fastest machines, but America's Titan was squeezed into fourth place by an upgraded Swiss system, according to the latest edition of the semiannual T0P500 list of supercomputers released Monday.
Sunway TaihuLight, described by the T0P500 list as "far and away the most powerful number-cruncher on the planet," maintained the lead since last June, when it dethroned Tianhe-2, the former champion for the previous three consecutive years.
It means that a Chinese supercomputer has topped the rankings maintained by researchers in the United States and Germany for nine times in a row.
What's more Adoree' Jackson Titans Jersey , Sunway TaihuLight, with a performance of 93 petaflops, was built entirely using processors designed and made in China.
"It highlights China's ability to conduct independent research in the supercomputing field," Haohuan Fu, deputy director of the National Supercomputing Center, where Sunway TaihuLight was installed, told Xinhua.
"China is simultaneously developing hardware and software technologies of supercomputers Corey Davis Titans Jersey ," Fu said. "It is expected that rapid development in homegrown hardware technologies, supported by homegrown software, will lead to a stronger research and engineering test capacity in many fields, thus promoting an industrial upgrading and, eventually, a sustainable development of China's homegrown supercomputing industry."
Tianhe-2, capable of performing 33.9 petaflops Harold Landry Titans Jersey , was based on Intel chips, something banned by the U.S. government from selling to four supercomputing institutions in China since 2015.
In the latest rankings, the new number three supercomputer is the upgraded Piz Daint, a system installed at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center.
Its current performance of 19.6 petaflops pushed Titan, a machine installed at the U.S. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, into fourth place. Titan's performance of 17.6 petaflops has remained constant since it was installed in 2012.
"This is the second time in the 24-year history of the TOP500 list that the United States has failed to secure any of the top three positions," the TOP500 organizers said in a statement.
The only other time this occurred was in November 1996 Rashaan Evans Titans Jersey , when three Japanese systems captured the top three spots.
"Nevertheless, the U.S. still claims five of the top 10 supercomputers, which is more than any other nation," they said.
Fu called the upgraded Swiss system "really a surprise," saying that "it reflects the increased investment in large-scale supercomputers in Europe."
"Although the U.S. dropped out of the top three, it still has strong strength in high performance computing," Fu told Xinhua. "If everything goes well Kevin Byard Elite Jersey , we could see two U.S. systems with a performance of 200 to 300 petaflops in the next rankings at the end of the year."
Just days before the TOP500 announcement, the U.S. Department of Energy said it has awarded AMD, Cray, HP Enterprise, IBM, Intel and NVIDIA a total of 258 million U.S. dollars in funding to accelerate the development of next-generation supercomputers.
"Continued U.S. leadership in high performance computing is essential to our security, prosperity Derrick Henry Elite Jersey , and economic competitiveness as a nation," U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry said in a recent statement.
The immediate goal of the United States is to develop at least one exascale-capable system by 2021, which will be at least 10 times faster than China's Sunway TaihuLight.
"Global competition for this technological dominance is fierce," the U.S. Department of Energy asserted. "However, the U.S. retains global leadership in the actual application of high performance computing to national security, industry, and science."

When you’re like me Jack Conklin Elite Jersey , you don’t normally think about a whole house water purification system when you see a home water purifier. You may envision either the kind you affix to just one tap, or some of those pitchers that filters drinking h2o. If that’s the case, then you definately might consider revising your thoughts and opinions, once you read this post.
Certainly just filtering your water to drink with a water pitcher type filter is a superb thing to do, especially just how news that’s come out for the quality (or lack of quality) your water supplies.
Just in case you haven’t been using, recent studies have found traces of pesticides in every one of the water supplies of all twenty nine cities studied. Your drinking water is additionally potentially likely to contain several prescription drugs to microorganisms within their dormant, cyst state.
Bottled water isn’t much better! (If any better!)
Besides the fact most bottled water comes straight out of a good tap Jonnu Smith Elite Jersey , did you know there are actually fewer restrictions covering bottled water than there are tap water? 70% of water in bottles isn’t even covered by any federal regulations in any way, since it’s never transported across state lines.
Of course, really the only solution is to filter your individual water at home.
But you have the decision about which sort of water filter to benefit from! Should you just filter your drinking water? Or, should you include barbecuing water, too? And does that mean you may need a whole house water purification system?
