For the first time in five years, the world’s fastest computer is no longer in China.

Yesterday (June 8), the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory announced the top speeds of its Summit supercomputing machine, which nearly laps the previous record-holder, China’s Sunway TaihuLight. The Summit’s theoretical peak speed is 200 petaflops, or 200,000 gigaflops. To put that in human terms, approximately 6.3 billion people would all have to make a calculation at the same time to match what Summit can do in just one second. (Another way to see it: if you want to go toe-to-toe with Summit yourself, settle in. You’ll be making a calculation every single second for the next 6.3 billion years.)
