China has quietly launched the Tianhe-3 supercomputer, which is believed to be the most powerful machine currently in existence.
The machine, built for the National Supercomputer Center in Guangzhou, has been shrouded in secrecy (as you would expect from a supercomputer developed and built in China), sparking plenty of speculation.
The Tianhe-3, also known as “Xingyi,” is thought to be a significant leap forward in supercomputing technology, potentially surpassing the capabilities of the upcoming “El Capitan” supercomputer being developed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and AMD for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
