How fast is a supercomputer?
Supercomputers have a much higher processing capacity compared to a general-use computer, and a much higher speed of calculation.
They're used for various things such as weather forecasting, nuclear weapons simulation and even to track space activity.
The processing speeds of a supercomputer are measured in floating points operations per second, or "flops".
A "petaflop" is one thousand trillion "flops".
The world's fastest supercomputer, the Chinese Sunway TaihuLight, can reach up to 93 petaflops.

The U.S. in comparison, comes in at fifth place with the Titan, at a speed of 17.6 petaflops.
It looks like the U.S. has some serious catching up to do.
