Hardware-wise based Tianhe 2 on the Intel Xeon E5 tolvkärniga 2692 processors (Ivy Bridge, 2.20 GHz), two per module. And no less than three of the company’s latest graphics processor unit Xeon Phi, per module. In total, the entire server cluster of server modules 16000, 32000 processors, 48,000 graphics processing units and 1,024,000 GB of internal memory. All together capable of producing 54 PFLOPs Rpeak / 30 PFLOPs Rmax.

Impressive numbers, the system captured first place as the world’s most powerful supercomputer over predecessor “Titan”, according to the TOP500 list, June 2013 . Power consumption is on the whole 17.808.00 kW, according to information from the source at vr-zone so the staff at the facility where the system is tested, had to turn the air conditioning system during a heavy Linpack round to ensure the power supply.
