China reclaims Top500 supercomputer lead with 2.2 exaflops native system
By

Summary
China has reclaimed the top spot on the Top500 supercomputer list with a native system that is the first to break the 2 exaflops barrier (2.2 EFlops) in the High Performance Linpack benchmark. Despite US export restrictions on hardware, China developed its own processor, interconnect, and operating system to achieve this milestone, surpassing the previous leader, Jupiter Booster. This marks China's return to the number one position after several years of absence from the top of the list.

· 4 pulledThe 67th list of the fastest supercomputers, also known as Top500, has it all once again.
Now, a Chinese native system is the first supercomputer to break the prestigious mark of 2 trillion calculations per second (2 EFlops) in the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark.
While export restrictions on US hardware have posed some challenges for China, they have ultimately not hindered it permanently.
After years of abstinence, China is back. With its processor, its interconnect, and its own operating system, it takes first place on the Top500 list.
