Japan is building the world's fastest supercomputer, which it hopes will make the country the new global hub for artificial intelligence research. The supercomputer is expected to run at a speed of 130 petaflops, meaning it is able to perform a mind-boggling 130 quadrillion calculations per second (that's 130 million billion). Once complete (the target date is April 2018), the AI Bridging Cloud Infrastructure (ABCI) will be the most powerful supercomputer in the world, surpassing the current champion, China's Sunway TaihuLight, currently operating at 93 petaflops. http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/13/tech/supercomputer-japan/index.html
