Fujitsu's "K" supercomputer has been crowned the world's fastest according to semi-yearly rankings published Monday, performing 8.2 quadrillion calculations per second.
This means that K is as fast as one million desktop computers tied together. It beats the world's previous top five supercomputers combined.
K uses enough energy to power 10,000 homes.
K resides at the Riken Advanced Institute For Computational Science in Kobe, Japan, and will be used for "climate research, meteorology, disaster prevention, and meteorology " when it's completed in 2012.
In second place is China’s Tianhe-1A supercomputer, and in third place is the United States' supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.
