The Fujitsu-designed K Computer, announced as winner of the biannual Top500 supercomputer list on Monday at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Hamburg, is three times faster on the Linpack high-performance computing (HPC) benchmark than last November's winner, the Tianhe-1A.
K Computer is capable of over eight quadrillion calculations per second with an Rmax score of 8.16 petaflops. This makes it more powerful than the next five systems in the top 10 combined.
Unlike previous winners, K Computer does not use graphical processing units (GPUs), such as those made by Nvidia, nor does it use x86 processors from Intel and AMD; instead, is it based on Fujitsu-designed Sparc processors.
