Wat is tegenwoordig de snelste supercomputer van de Wereld? Van wie is de snelste supercomputer? In welk land staan de snelste en beste computer ter wereld. Wie/welke organisatie? Zijn niet alleen bedrijven, vaak ook overheden, instellingen en onderzoek organisaties welke constant werken aan betere en snelere computers. Anno 2015 staat de snelste supercomputer in China en op NR2 de USA.
