13 Fastest Supercomputers In The World 

Fugaku

With a theoretical peak performance of 537 petaFLOPs, Fugaku is the world’s fastest supercomputer. It is also the first top-ranked supercomputer to be powered by ARM processors. 

Summit 

Summit can deliver 200 petaFLOPS at peak. This is equivalent to 200 quadrillion floating-point operations per second. 

Sierra

Sierra offers up to 6 times the sustained performance and 7 times the workload performance of its predecessor Sequoia. Sierra is specifically designed for assessing the performance of nuclear weapon systems. 

Sunway TaihuLight

The computing power of TaihuLight comes from a homegrown several-core SW26010 CPU that includes both computing processing elements and management processing elements. 

Tianhe-2A

With more than 16,000 computer nodes, Tianhe-2A represents the world’s largest installation of Intel Ivy Bridge and Xeon Phi processors. 

Frontera

Frontera opens up new possibilities in engineering and research by providing extensive computational resources that make it easier for scientists to tackle many complex challenges. 

Piz Daint

This supercomputer, named after the mountain Piz Daint in the Swiss Alps, runs on Intel Xeon E5-26xx microprocessor and NVIDIA Tesla P100. 

Trinity

Trinity is built to provide an extraordinary computational capability for the NNSA Nuclear Security Enterprise. 

AI Bridging Cloud Infrastructure

This is the world’s first large-scale Open AI Computing Infrastructure that delivers 32.577 petaFLOPS of peak performance. 

SuperMUC-NG

SuperMUC-NG features 6,400 Lenovo ThinkSystem SD650 direct-water-cooled computing nodes with over 700 terabytes of main memory and 70 petabytes of disk storage. 

Lassen 

Lassen is designated for unclassified simulation and analysis. It is installed in the same lab and uses the same building components as Sierra (#2 fastest supercomputer). 

Pangea III 

Pangea III relies on IBM’s AI-optimized, high-performance architecture. IBM and NVIDIA worked together to build the industry’s only CPU-to-GPU NVLink connection. 

Sequoia 

Sequoia uses IBM’s Blue Gene/Q servers to deliver a theoretical peak performance of 20 petaFLOPS. It has 123% more cores and is 37% more energy efficient.
