Summary
LineShine took the top spot in the latest supercomputer rankings, becoming the world’s fastest system despite relying on CPUs rather than accelerators.
Five machines now exceed 1 exaflop on the HPL benchmark, up from four in the previous edition of the list.
The result highlights a broader shift at the top end of high-performance computing, where exascale-class performance is no longer limited to a small handful of systems.
The updated rankings were released with credit to the National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen, underscoring China’s presence in the global supercomputing race.
