Tianhe-2

The fastest of the fastest, 33.6 petaflops of speed. This supercomputer could do a billion calculations in a giffy. This supercomputer is designed by the China's National University of Defense. This supercomputer uses a whopping 31,20,000 cores which are made of Intel Xeon E5 processors. This supercomputer excessively works for the defense mechanisms. So beware of Chinese, (wink) The supercomputers are also being available for normal users. IBM's Watson is one such computer that will be giving the user access to the Blue Genex platform which will run some extensive large applications. So with this change and drift in technology, the computing might take more turns and twists in coming days.
