The Most Powerful Supercomputers Ever Built

Humanity’s biggest brains—measured in flops.

This is a behind-the-scenes tour of the most extreme machines ever created. They model the universe, crack genomes, simulate wars, and train the AI that’s changing everything.

Inside, you’ll dive into:

• Legends of compute: Cray-1, Blue Gene, Fugaku, Sequoia, Tianhe-2, Sunway TaihuLight.
• Performance frontiers: exascale computing, petaflops, megaflops, quantum supremacy.
• AI and beyond: D-Wave, IBM Watson, deep learning acceleration, simulation systems.
• Geopolitical compute race: supercomputing in China, Japan, Germany, and the U.S.
• Tech architecture: distributed systems, parallel computing, quantum tunneling, HPC stacks.

These machines don’t just think faster—they change the definition of "thinking."

The rawest power on Earth isn’t nuclear. It’s computational. And this is its origin story.
