Fastest Supercomputer

As of June 2016, the fastest supercomputer in the world is the Sunway TaihuLight, 

in mainland China, with a LINPACK benchmark score of 93 PFLOPS (P=peta, 10¹⁵), exceeding the previous record holder, Tianhe-2, by around 59 PFLOPS. It tops the rankings in the TOP500 supercomputer list.

January 25, 2016 – For the first time Ever, The bitcoin network has exceeded one Exa Hash/s (10^18 Hash/s), or approximately 10.8 ZettaFLOPS (1021) per second, according to bitcoinwatch.com’s aggregate metric. This makes the bitcoin network around three-hundred-thousand times more powerful than the world’s fastest supercomputer, the tianhe-2 — clocking in at ~34 PetaFLOPS, and over 43 thousand times faster than every supercomputer on the TOP500 list combined. In theory, the network could be repurposed to run a neural net AI about one hundred times as powerful as a human brain.
