XT5 Jaguar, as one of supercomputer products that made by Cray Inc. located in Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennesssee, occupying the top spot in the Top 500 list of world's fastest supercomputer. Velocity reaches 1.7 petaflops, meaning able to do 1.7 quadrillion computing operations per second. Meanwhile, China-made supercomputer Dawning nebulae, which is at the National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen, China, clung under the Jaguar with 1.27 petaflops per second. In fact, no longer a newcomer from IBM named Sequoia is ready to rival both.
