Bangalore: Super speed- that is what a supercomputer is all about. Supercomputers simply can be defined as systems that can perform at the current highest possible rate in the computation platform. Supercomputers can handle really large amount of computations, at extremely high speeds, with huge databases that spreads across the whole world. All major nations already have announced an open challenge for the coveted title of building and owning the world’s fastest supercomputer. So which are top- biggest and mightiest supercomputers that can do parallel operations in a trillionth of a second? Here’s the answer, in a list featuring top 10 mightiest supercomputers across the planet.

#10 Dawning Nebulae – China:

Chinese supercomputer, Dawning Nebulae is the tenth fastest supercomputer in the world. It is also the second most powerful computer in China. The Dawning Nebulae is located at the National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. This monster produces computations at 1.27 petaflops using 120,640 processor cores, that is 492 megaflops per watt. The Dawning Nebulae works with Intel Xeon X5650 processors and Nvidia Tesla C2050 GPUs, as its been built from a Dawning TC3600 Blade system.
