China to develop new supercomputer in 2 years
China is planning to develop an "exascale" supercomputer that will be capable of performing more than a billion billion calculations per second. The prototype for such a computer will be released in either 2017 or 2018. The supercomputer will be 1,000 times more powerful than China’s Tianhe-1A, which was identified as the world's fastest computing system in 2010.
