Deputy Director Wei paused slightly at those words, then laughed heartily. "In a sense, you could certainly say that."
Xia Ruofei's analogy was naturally inexact, but it was incredibly easy to understand. Everyone judged their home computer CPUs by the number of cores, so the sheer scale of over a hundred thousand cores was genuinely staggering.
Sure enough, Ling Qingxue couldn't help but exclaim, "That's amazing!"
Deputy Director Wei smiled as he introduced the system. "The peak performance of the light of Taihu territory reaches 125.436 PFlops, ranking third globally. Its sustained performance of 93.015 PFlops ranks first, and its performance-to-power ratio is also number one in the world. At the 2016 Frankfurt World Supercomputer Conference, our system topped the charts. It was nearly twice as fast as the runner-up, Tianhe-2, and three times as efficient."
