The European supercomputer ranking 3rd on the TOP500 list has taken USA down to 4th position
The top position in the TOP500 list remains occupied by China with its two supercomputers - Sunway TaihuLight and Tianhe-2 with their Linpack performance of 93 and almost 34 petaflops, respectively. Third position is occupied by the Swiss Piz Daint supercomputer, which has climbed up from 8th position as a result of a significant upgrade. Having its current Linpack performance of 19.6 petaflops, the most powerful European supercomputer is operated at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS). In the top 10, there are also supercomputers from the United States of America and Japan. Salomon, the most powerful Czech supercomputer operated by the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center in Ostrava, maintains its position in the top 100, currently ranking 78th.
Salomon, the most powerful supercomputer in the Czech Republic, celebrates its first anniversary
Within a year since Salomon was put into operations, 435 projects for 448 users have been successfully solved using this supercomputer. As part of the process, more than 135 million core hours, which is more than 3,800 years of continuous operation of a laptop with four very powerful cores, have been spent. Its 2 PETAFLOPS of theoretical peak performance are utilized by scientists such as chemists, astrophysicists, or mathematicians as well as mechanical engineers.

Genomic pipeline OMICS master on ANSELM supercomputer
At the end of 2014 BULL has finalized genomic pipeline installation known as OMICS master at czech National Supercomputer Center in Ostrava (IT4I).
Big Cluster to be delivered by US company SGI
IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center at VSB - Technical University of Ostrava and a prestigious US company Silicon Graphics International Corp. (SGI®) signed today the delivery contract for the so-called Big Cluster. During the first half of 2015 will be installed in Ostrava a petaflop-class system. Its performance will thus surpass almost twentyfold the current Ostrava’s supercomputer Anselm. With the latest Intel® Xeon® processors and Xeon PhiTM coprocessors, the supercomputer in Ostrava will become one of systems with the highest performance in Europe that use this type of chips.
