This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Doesn't this flip flop every few years anyway? This is the 4th time China has had the fastest according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_supercomputing
Yes because it takes time and money to build them so you don't do it on a monthly basis, you do it when the performance gain is worth it
Interesting, it will be based on the ARMv9 architecture and will be CPU only, no GPUs

I think China is quietly beating the USA.
China quietly beat the USA in 2018. That was the year that China became the global leader in scientific output. Everything is downstream of scientific and technological advancement.
USA is financializing everything, is in full wealth extraction mode for the happy few and is still going on only out of momentum. China is beating them by not doing anything stupid, although they do have their own issues.
There's no question about it. Also USA is a land of morons and Nazis. So despite China Bad, yes it's going to pull way ahead.
America has plenty of morons and plenty of Nazis, but that's not the deciding factor. What China has and America doesn't here is a responsive ruling class with a positive vision for the future.
Both US & China's rulling class do not think workers should get a say in our future, both will find out it doesn't work like that sooner or later.
Both countries have asshole governments. It just so happens to be that China hasn't regressed to be anti-science.
Why was my comment removed?? Wtf is wrong with the Lemmy Mods?? Stupid fucking assholes!
What is rule 3?
The rules are in the sidebar of the community. Rule 3 is "be excellent to each other".
Quietly?
They probably mean they are beating the US in a quieter fashion than the US beats other countries.
When the US beats other countries in any field, even temporarily, you can hear it loud and clear. It sounds like:
Eagle screech
ackshually....
red tailed hawk screech
Even the national bird is fronting
Do you ever see China bragging as much as America? No.
I think the top500 is harmful to the hpc community because it encourages people to build huge, mostly homogenous hpc facilities instead of a network of smaller, heterogenous hpc facilities
