That was a computer called Titan in the US Department of Energy.
Now, no one knows quite what the National University of Defence training will use Tianhe-2 for, but it doesn't matter.
It's really fast, and it was still the fastest in the latest list published in November, with its record 33.86 petaflops.
Now, that's 33,000
860 million billion sums every second.
Computing records seldom last long.
Two months before China's great leap forward, the first one petaflop machine, which was king in 2008, was decommissioned.
It was too slow.
When the next list comes out, Tianhe 2 may beat itself.
Its theoretical top speed is more than 50 petaflops.
But even that record may soon go.
The geeks are betting on a one exaflop machine.
That's a billion sums every billionth of a second by 2017.
