Poland's Prometheus in TOP500 most powerful computers

Poland's supercomputer Prometheus, developed by AGH University of Science and Technology ranked 38th in the 46th edition of the twice-yearly TOP500 list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, available at www.top500.org. This is a record high result for Poland. Prometheus was included in the ranking for the second time. In July, the computer was classified in 50th place. In order to match its capacities, one would have to connect  50,000 of the fastest PCs with a super-fast network. For the sixth consecutive time, Tianhe-2, a supercomputer developed by China’s National University of Defense Technology, has retained its position as the world’s number one system. The US has 200 computers included in the ranking and China has 109.
