China's National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) has unveiled China's fastest supercomputer. The super computer, named Tianhe (Milky Way), can do more than 1 quadrillion calculations per second (one petaflop) at peak speed.
NUDT president Zhang Yulin said the 155-ton system was expected to be used to process seismic data for oil exploration, perform bio-medical computing, and help design aerospace vehicles. The machine would have ranked fourth in the most recent Top500 list of the world's fastest super computers.
The $ 88 million project was co-financed by China's National High-technology Research and Development Program and the Binhai New Area, a major economic development zone in the northern port city of Tianjin.
