1: The new top system, Fugaku, turned in a High-Performance Linpack (HPL) result of 415.5 petaflops, besting the now second-place Summit system by a factor of 2.8x.  Fugaku is powered by Fujitsu’s 48-core A64FX SoC, becoming the first number one system on the list to be powered by ARM processors. In single or further reduced precision, which is often used in machine learning and AI applications, Fugaku’s peak performance is over 1,000 petaflops * (1 exaflop *). The new system is installed at RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) in Kobe, Japan. 2: Number two on the list is Summit, an IBM-built supercomputer that delivers 148.8 petaflops * on HPL. The system has 4,356 nodes, each equipped with two 22-core Power9 CPUs, and six NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. The nodes are connected with a Mellanox dual-rail EDR InfiniBand network. Summit is running at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee and remains the fastest supercomputer in the US. 3: At number three is Sierra, a system
