NVIDIA Helps China to Supercomputer Crown

According to this article, China has taken the top spot on the supercomputer Top500 list with more than a little help from NVIDIA. The Chinese system beat out the U.S. based supercomputer from Tennessee for the honor of being number one.

Nvidia chips are powering a supercomputer that the graphics chip supplier claims has achieved the fastest speeds to date. The China-based "Tianhe-1A" has hit 2.507 petaflops, beating a system at Tennessee-based Oak Ridge National Laboratories.
