The Tianhe-1 (which means 'Milky Way') has attained a sustained computing speed of 2,507 trillion calculations per second (or 2.507 petaflops), where FLOPS stands for FLoating point OPerations per Second.
The Chinese supercomputer is reported to be over 1.4 times faster than the previous holder of the record, the Jaguar system (Cray XT5) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Department of Energy) in Tennessee within the United States.
The Jaguar has a speed of 1.75 petaflops.
In China, their Tianhe-1 is housed at the National Center for Supercomputing in the city of Tianjin.
