Fastest Supercomputers in the World 1984-2021

This bar chart race shows the most powerful known supercomputer systems in the world from 1984, measured by floating point operations per second (FLOP/s, max LINPACK benchmark performance achieved). Black numbers on the bars shows the number of processor cores used. On left side, model/name and location. For more details on each system, visit source.

MFLOPS = 1,000,000
GFLOPS = 1,000,000,000
TFLOPS = 1,000,000,000,000
PFLOPS = 1,000,000,000,000,000

Just imagine. Today's rtx 4090 for $ 1, 500 is as powerful as supercomputers from 2005 at a price of millions of dollars

[dancingwiththedogsdj]

That was one of the coolest things I've seen! I love different representations and all! 🍻🌎❤️🎶🕺

Crazy to think that an Xbox today is nearly as powerful as the second largest supercomputer in 2002

[MatthewCyUK]

I've been saying it for years; we've been walking around with, what was 20 years ago (or less), supercomputers in our back pockets... and what do we do with them? Education? Enlightenment? Productivity?

no ...we watch cat videos while we take a dump and argue with complete strangers about things neither of us fully understand.

My Pixel 8 Pro is more (I'll say this appropriately) "powerful" ...than any multimillion dollar supercomputer before 2002. That is fucking mental.

Awesome video, thank you.

Crazy to think the phone in your pocket is as powerful as a world class supercomputer was about 20 years ago

[kebertxela]

My phone became self aware while watching this.

[cubertmiso]

music made me really emotional.
excellent job, better than titanic movie.

[kevmorris]

An iPhone 15 has the same computing power as the best supercomputers of 1999! We really are all walking around with supercomputers in our pockets.

[mohadam]

To see that my $400 phone is more powerful than 90's supercomputers that cost millions

[BillyBobDingledorf]

Supercomputing used to be about designing powerful processors. Now it's about how many CPUs you can link together.

[shinigami]

bro forgot india had the 2nd most powerful SC in the world once the PARAM

[josephludwig]

If you could take
Doc and Marty to the future

[roberthuff]

Not counting the acres of NSA's super-quantum computers.

[Stray_Cafe]

3:50 The top at 2011 is K and just one, there aren't two, Sequoia's top is since 2012

[jimmylam]

China is not freaking bother with these games...Quantum is the king.

[srinu]

Where is the Param 8000 supercomputer made in india.

[PuyawaPun]

Where fontrier and secret supercomputer that china made

[davea]

Screw that 21st century computer stuff, all I need is a 13th century abacus and a brainwashing by the medieval church to calculate that sun revolves around the Earth, the Earth is flat, and the moon is made of green cheese. 🤪🥴😲 Lol

Those computers are obsolete already my Q- star computer.... does computations at 100 times the speed of light. Using a double bridge series 10 isma processor which makes even IBM's new processor already obsolete. Air cooled and Man portable and the size of a small suitcase. Versus office space use of a so-called supercomputer. Nano electronic technology is the future of micro tri Cypher technology. It's firewall and encryption is light years ahead Norton's and McAfee would love to have the concession and the answer is no you can also find and hunt down hackers that don't want to be found what is illusion software good luck and it's for the United States government. My design and my design only 10 years in the making and it works and it's even working right now. Crypto miners would kill to have this example if it was used for crypto applications it would do 5 trillion computations a second do the math
