US Department of Energy and IBM recently unveiled Summit, latest supercomputer, with a performance of 200 petaflops, or 200,000 trillion calculations per second.
Earlier China’s TaihuLight was the world’s fastest supercomputer, which can reach 93 petaflops per second.
A massive system taking up 5,600 square feet of floor space and weighing over 340 tons, Summit is connected by 185 miles of fiber-optic cables and can store 250 petabytes of data, which is equal to 74 years of HD video.

More than 4,000 gallons of water are pumped through the system every minute to keep Summit from overheating as it generates a heat equal to nearly 13 megawatts.
