1.Tianhe-1A
The world’s fastest supercomputer according to TOP500 supercomputer list of 2010 is Tianhe-1A,Which means Milkyway in chinese .Tianhe-1A of National Computing Center in Tianjin topspotted List by throwing down Former No1,Jagguar to second spot.Tianhe-1A, runs at a top speed of 2.57 petaflops per second (one petaflop equals 1,000 trillion calculations per second). It reportedly will be used for oil exploration and aircraft design.
2.Jagguar
Cray XT5, also known as Jaguar is now at second place After Being knocked by china's Tinhale 1a.It
can perform more than 1 quadrillion calculations per second.
The massively parallel Jaguar has a peak performance of just over 1750 teraflops (1.75 petaflops). It has 224,256 x86-based AMD Opteron processor cores and operates with a version of Linux called Cray Linux Environment.Jaguar is a Cray XT5 system, a development from the Cray XT4 supercomputer. It is Now Owned by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
3.Nebulae.
Another chinese Super computer in the list just under the Jaguar from Cray, nebulae, a monster made from a relatively small number of blade servers TC3600 from Dawning Information Industry. It will be used by the research center in Shenzhen, China and is capable of 1.271 petaflops (1,000 trillion) per second.
4.Tsubame 2.0
The super-computer Tsubame 2.0 has been developed by the Tokyo Institute of Technology in collaboration with NEC and HP. It promises a 2.39 petaflops of computing capacity (30 times higher than its predecessor Tsubame 1.0) thanks to some 2,816 Intel six-core 2.96GHz Xeon 5600 (Westmere-EP) microprocessors and 4,224 NVIDIA Tesla M2050 GPUs with lower power consumption as only 1MW (1/25th of its predecessor).
5.Hopper cray XE6
The Hopper II system, a Cray XE6, has been installed at NERSC and is currently being tested by Cray, NERSC staff, and early users. The system has a peak performance of 1.288 Peta-flops. The system has 6392 nodes, (153,408 cores) with 217 TB of memory and 2PB of disk space.
6.Tera 100
Tera 100 is the Europe's First Peta Flop super computer built by Bull SA for the French Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique.The Tera 100 contains 140,000 Intel Xeon 7500 processor cores and 300TB of memory, while the file system will have a throughput of 500GB/s and total storage of 20PB.
7.IBM Road RUnner
IBM Roadrunner was crowned No. 1 in June 2008 after becoming the first supercomputer to break one petaflop/s. IBM’s Roadrunner managed 1.042 petaflops. The supercomputer is located at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
8.Kraken Xt5
Kraken the name Itself Presents The Monstreous Feeling.The Kraken system is a Cray XT5 with 8256 compute nodes interconnected with SeaStar, a 3D torus. Each compute node has two hex-core AMD Opterons for a total of 99072 cores. All nodes have 16 Gbytes of memory: 4/3 Gbyte of memory per core. By early 2011, 12 cabinets will be added to Kraken, increasing the peak performance from 1030 to 1174 teraflops.
9.Jugene(Jugene Blue Gene)
jugene is a supercomputer built by IBM for the Jülich Research Centre in Germany. It is based on the Blue Gene/P and is the successor to the JUBL based on an earlier design. It was at the introduction the second fastest computer in the world. It is currently the ninth fastest computer in the world according to TOP500. The computer is owned by the Institute "Jülich Supercomputing Centre" (JSC) and the Virtual Gauss Centre for Supercomputing.
10.Cielo
Cielo is a spnish Word will support all three NNSA national laboratories — Los Alamos, Sandia, and Livermore.With a projected cost of less than $54 million, Cielo is the next generation capability class platform for the Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) program. Cielo will be installed in third quarter of 2010, with additional capability planned for 2011.
Cielo will be operated with AMD x86_64 Opteron 8 Core 2400 MHz (9.6 GFlops) and Linux operating system.it will be performing Calculations at a speed of 0.81 petaflops
