Tianhe-1 which means 'Milky Way' capable of reaching speeds of computing 2570 trillion calculations per second, and placed on the throne the first in a survey of 500 supercomputers.

However, Tianhe - 1 which is used in Tianjin using computer chips made by U.S. companies.

While the previous champion, the computer used Jaguar U.S. government in Tennessee, slipped in second place. Jaguar is able to move with speed of 1750 trillion calculations per second.

While China's other kompter system, nebulae, in Shenzhen was in third position.

Although the U.S. still dominate, at least more than half the category's fastest 500 computers, but China managed to enter 42 in the rankings system was. China even beat other technological superpower - Japan, France, Germany, and England.

This is not the first time the U.S. digital king's crown was taken over Asian countries. In 2002, Japan made machine with a force equivalent to 20 U.S. top computer combined into one.

Supercomputers are used for various fields which require complicated calculations with many variables such as defense, energy, finance, and science.

The race super computers also become a national pride of a nation.
