Tianhe-2

The Tianhe -2 (Chinese天河 二号, Milky Way -2 ' ) is a Chinese supercomputer in Guangzhou.

He reached in its first stage (June 2013) a computing power of 33.86 petaflops and is almost twice as fast as the hitherto most powerful supercomputers, the U.S. titanium ( 17.59 petaflops ). The theoretical maximum performance of the system is indicated by 55 petaflops.

Configuration

Configuration of the first stage of 2013:

• Processors (16,000 compute nodes with 3.2 million cores ): 32,000 × Intel Xeon E5- 2692 (12 - core processor, " Ivy Bridge ", 2.2 GHz, 211 GFLOPS )
