The world's biggest chipmaker Intel is struggling, because it missed out on mobile devices chip market. Now mobile phone chips into the Intel site - super computer market.

Supercomputers used in government, academia and industry to a wide variety of research projects such as nuclear weapons and potential new drugs. Intel chip drives more than 90% of the 500, before the most powerful supercomputers, dominate the server and PC market at the same time. Smartphones and tablets, however, almost all adopt the British ARM chip, the main energy efficiency design for a long time.

Fujitsu, said this week (Fujitsu: Fujitsu Japan is the world's leading information and communications technology, provide a full range of technology products, solutions and services.) It will use based on ARM processor, make Japanese supercomputer called Project K successor. Fujitsu are Riken Advanced Institute for Computational Science (Riken Institute for Advanced study Computational Science) makes the computer, plans to use it for biomedical, climate and energy research. The computer is installed to open in 2020.

Fujitsu international supercomputing conference in Germany announced the news, Intel heard more bad news at the conference. The world's most powerful supercomputers were unveiled as the new list, and in the end of the new machine is not based on Intel's x86 technology.

"The light of the taihu lake" system manufacturers in China, is located in wuxi national supercomputing center, the use of Chinese built not specified architecture custom processor.

Supercomputing power can be measured by the number of them perform operations per second, the measure is called FLOPS. The light of the taihu lake 1 trillion operations per second.

The light of the taihu lake has mad computing ability, but it is not enough. In recent years, make the prospect of supercomputers faster already began to slump. Using more powerful chips, usually of Intel, to provide high-performance computing forecast earnings. But other factors, such as data can be moving within the system, has become a limit. At the same time, top supercomputers electricity has become a big problem. To build a bigger machine seems to have touched the wall.

Big to super computer, small to a mobile device, the chip is more and more powerful, smaller and smaller chip transistor. The trend is called Moore's law. However, the transistor "shrink" speed slowed, began to spiral out of control and power consumption of the chip. Super computer manufacturers have begun to look for alternative design, can make the speed of their machines keep growing. One of these is the ARM.

"This is the age of disruptive for high-performance computing," James, vice President of the Harvard University computing research Cuff said. "Those who are able to design the accurate support key algorithm and code, and low consumption of machine company, will eventually win in this new game."

Since 2011, the ARM invested a lot of money, for the research and development of high performance computer chips. It have reached an agreement with IBM and graphics chipmaker Nvidia partnership, and the recent software partnership, will ensure that the popular research software will run on based on ARM processor.

ARM's strategy has not been fully tested, for they were not based on the super computer chip design. Knoxville, Tennessee, said Jack Dongarra, a professor of computer science at the university of its is 500 one of the most powerful supercomputers list of authors. But in the era of supercomputer consciousness of new energy, it may succeed. "I think the ARM has huge potential," he said. "Although it is not yet in a large machine demo. But nothing can limit their use on the design."
