“In an absolute show of super computer capability, the
National Center for Supercomputing in Tianjin, China announced a
2.507 petaflops computer. That is 2.507 trillion calculations per
second.

“It places China in the running for the absolute world’s fastest
computer.

“This achievement, coupled with China’s already proven Nebulae
machine, which ranked second in the TOP 500 list of world’s fastest
super computers, substantively validates China’s computer
development capacity.”
