THE SUPERCOMPUTER
                      In 2018, the Sunway TaihuLight was the world’s fastest
                      supercomputer. Housed in the city of Wuxi in eastern
                      China, it can carry out 93 quadrillion calculations per
                      second. That’s twice as fast as the next-most-powerful
                      supercomputer in existence, Tianhe-2, which also
                      happens to be in China.
