Chinas Sunway TaihuLight has unsurprisingly taken the crown of the worlds fastest machine again, according to the latest edition of the semiannual Top 500 list of supercomputers released last Monday.近期一期超级计算机500强劲榜匈奴上周一对外公布。这个每半年公布一次的榜单表明，我国神威·太湖之光不来意料地再度沦为全球运算速度最慢的机器。The massive supercomputer, built entirely using processors designed and made in China, made its first public appearance in June, when it easily dethroned the former champion, Tianhe-2, also a Chinese system but built based on Intel chips.这台大型超级计算机全部用于我国自主设计、生产的处理器打造出而出，今年6月首次公开发表亮相时，它精彩将天河二号跃升超算冠军的宝座。天河二号也是中国研发的系统，但用于的是英特尔芯片。
TaihuLight is capable of performing 93 million billion calculations per second (petaflop/s). Thats almost three times as fast as Tianhe-2, which had claimed No. 1 spot in the Top500 list for the past three years.太湖之光可以展开每秒9.3亿亿次的浮点运算，完全是天河二号运算速度的3倍。在过去3年中，天河二号仍然位居500强劲榜单榜首。That means a Chinese supercomputer has topped the rankings for eight times in a row, indicating the rise of China in the high performance computing field.这意味著，我国超级计算机已倒数8次夺得该榜单冠军，表明了我国在高性能计算出来领域的兴起。
In the previous list released in June, China overtook the United States in the number of total supercomputers installed. That was first time that the United States has not dominated this category since the list was started 23 years ago.在今年六月分公布的前一次榜单中，在超级计算机的总数量上中国多达了美国。这也是自23年前该榜单首次公布之后，美国第一次没能统治者这一范畴。
This time, the number of systems installed in China increased to 171 from 168 on the last list, but the United States also made a slight recovery and now has 171 systems, up from 165 in the previous list.而这一次，中国超级计算机的总量从上次的168台减少到了171台，不过美国也有了严重的衰退，从上次的165台减少到了171台。
