Top 7 most powerful supercomputers
7. TERA-10
The French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and Bull.
The TERA-10 system contains 4352 dual core Intel Itanium 2 processors, codenamed Montecito. It is based on 544 Bull NovaScale 6160 servers, each of which contains eight dual-core processors.
The TERA-10 system has a maximum performance of over 50 teraflops.
6. Thunderbird
Thunderbird has 8,960 Linux cluster processors developed by Dell and is currently located in the Sandy National Laboratory, National Nuclear Security Administration laboratory, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Thunderbird 53.0 Teraflops raised it to the 6 fastest computers and is currently used to simulate weapons, simulating the effects of radiation on semiconductor electronics environmental impact.
5. MareNostrum
IBM MareNostrum supercomputer. IBM claims that it is capable of processing 40 trillion operations per second, which is opposed to the performance of a person who would have spent 10 million years on the amount of work that MareNostrum performs in one second.
MareNostrum is the fastest in Europe. The supercomputer has a massive enough RAM, which is enough for 20 thousand ordinary computers, and the capacity of the disks is 233 TB, which is equivalent to the amount of information from 29 million books.
is the property of the Barcelona Supercomputer Center - a consortium of the Catalan and Spanish governments and the California Polytechnic University and will be used for research in the field of architecture, aerodynamics, biology, genetics.
4. ASC Purple
The ASC Purple system has been made possible through collaboration between Lawrence Livermore Labs and IBM.
100 Teraflops on IBM Power5 SMP servers, which contain a total of 12,544 microprocessors with 50 terabytes of memory and only 2 petabytes of disk space.
ASC Purple is currently being used to model the operation of a nuclear weapon, which is usually carried out in underground nuclear explosions.

3. BGW (Blue Gene / W)
Blue Gene / W or BGW, located in the IBM Research Center of Thomas J. Watson and can reach a peak value of 114 Teraflops using 20 cooling racks, each consisting of 1024 nodes.
Each node contains two PowerPC 440 processors with a clock frequency of 700 MHz and 512 MB of memory.
Blue Gene / W serves to perform scientific calculations, including the production of biological modeling, Stanford and other projects created by IBM scientists.
2. Red Storm
Red Storm is a development of Cray and Sandia laboratories for testing nuclear weapons, testing weapons, and military engineering physics.
Red Storm consists of 12960 AMD Opteron node and a peak at 124.42 Teraflops and uses a lightweight Linux OS, which consists only of the minimal elements necessary to support Red Storm.
1. Blue Gene / L
The BM Blue Gene / L system, installed in the largest center for nuclear research - Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Blue Gene / L combines 131072 processor, which allows you to get a peak performance of 360 Teraflops. On the Linpack test, the Blue Gene / L computer installed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LNLL), obtained in its maximum configuration, was 280.6 Teraflops.
Blue Gene / L is a massively parallel computer and has a scalable cellular architecture - the necessary computer is assembled from the same type of racks. One Blue Gene rack, which occupies less than a square meter, unites up to 1024 computing nodes and has a speed of 5.7 Teraflops.
Blue Gene / L computer software includes: MPI (based on MPICH2) for C, C ++, Fortran, Co-Array FORTRAN (CAF), Unified Parallel C (UPC), Engineering and Scientific Subroutine Library (ESSL), Mathematical Acceleration Subsystem ( MASS), Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) and 3D-FFT, General Parallel File System (GPFS), LoadLeveler. ESSL provides more than 150 specially optimized math functions, MASS - a set of optimized math libraries for calculating fractions and square roots with single and double precision, Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) and 3D-FFT - realizations of the fast Fourier transform, GPFS - a high-performance cluster file system, LoadLeveler is a resource manager.
As DEL has already written, Blue Gene / P computer with a speed of 1 Petaflops (quadrillion, or 1015 floating point operations per second) has already been created in its topic , but it has not yet reached the rating, apparently without leaving the testing stage.
