China may be secretly sitting on the two most powerful supercomputers in the world

According to Next Platform, which says it has the information on “outstanding authority”, a machine at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi (called Sunway Oceanlite) recorded a peak score of 1.3 exaFLOPS by the LINPACK benchmark as early as March this year. Another system, the Tianhe-3, is said to have achieved an almost identical score.
