First place in the Top 500, sure, but how does it rank in the Top 100??

China’s LineShine supercomputer has dethroned El Capitan as the world’s number one supercomputer, going straight to the top of the charts after the National Supercomputer Center in Shenzhen (NSCS) submitted its results.

I was making a joke. “First place in Top 500 list” - the top 500 is irrelevant.

When was the last time an only-CPU supercomputer topped the list? I think it was 10 years ago. For over a decade the list was dominated by hybrid designs where the GPU provides most of the FLOPs.

Impressive.
