Japan 🇯🇵 working on world's 🌎 fastest supercomputer

Once complete, probably in April next year, the AI Bridging Cloud Infrastructure (ABCI) 💻 will be the most powerful supercomputer in the world 💻, surpassing the current champion, China's 🇨🇳 Sunway TaihuLight, currently operating at 93 petaflops.

The supercomputer 💻 is expected to run at a speed of 130 petaflops, meaning it is able to perform a mind-boggling 130 quadrillion calculations ➕ per second (that's 130 million billion)‼️

"The current supercomputer system is one million times faster ‼️ than your personal computers 💻," explains Satoshi Sekiguchi, a director general at 🇯🇵 Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.

Japan's 🇯🇵 K computer, which runs at just over 10 petaflops, claimed the title 🏆 of world's fastest supercomputer for 6️ months in 2011, before it was outperformed by the United States 🇺🇸 and China 🇨🇳.
