Top 5 - Super Computers
Present Supercomputer world is lead by China and USA.Now India also planning to introducing its own.
Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) planing to complete new Supercomputer by next year. (PARAM) these super computers are used to drugs discoveries, predict weather conditions, climate modelling ect.
Our new government aimed to build 80 Super computers.
Here's a list of the top 5 supercomputers
in the world:
33.86 petaflop/s (Pflop/s)
on the Linpack benchmark
The Tianhe-2, also known
as Milky Way-2, is the most powerful supercomputer in the world and has been
adjudged with this position for the fifth time consecutively. Despite United
States' large number of supercomputers (almost half of the top 500), China has
managed to secure the top position with a huge margin. The supercomputer was
built by China's National University of Defence Technology (NUDT) for the
National Supercomputer Center in Guangzho. The system has 3,120,000 computing
cores made up from 16,000 computer nodes.
17.59 Pflop/s using
261,632 NVIDIA K20x cores
The Titan is used by the United States Department of Energy at their Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Titan held the record of the fastest supercomputer before Tianhe. The computing speed is nearly half of what Tianhe-2 can perform.

3.
Sequoia (United States):
17.17 Pflop/s and uses 1,572,864 cores
Sequoia is located in California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It is built to predict weather conditions and is also used in astronomy to deal with the massive calculations. The supercomputer is based on IBM BlueGene framework.
4. K Computer (Japan):
10.51 Pflop/s and uses 705,024 SPARC64 processing cores.
The K computer is situated at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (AICS) in Kobe, Japan and was manufactured by Fujitsu.

5. Mira (Unites States):
8.59 Pflop/s and uses 786,432 cores
Mira is the one of the oldest in this list and was third in position when it was built. The supercomputer is located at the Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago. The supercomputer is soon to be updated to a new supercomputer called Aurora.
