ISRO unveiled india's fastest supercomputer SAGA-220 on 2nd may, 2011.
its peak performance= 220 trillion flops/sec
The supercomputer facilty named as Satish Dhawan Supercomputer facility is located at Vikram Sarabhai Space Center (VSSC) .
SAGA-220 ( Supercomputer for Aerospace with GPU Architecture-220 TeraFLOPS) is ranked 86 in world's top 500.
#Sequoia, the US super computer, was crowned the fastest computer in the world on 17 June 2012. Situated at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, Sequoia is able to make 16.32 quadrillion calculations per second (16.32 petaflops/s). Developed by IBM, the supercomputer belongs from IBM’s BlueGene family, which runs on Power processors.
>Sequoia help the United States keep its nuclear stockpile safe, secure and effective without the need for underground testing.
>With 253 of 500 systems US holds the highest share of world’s fastest computers. Asia holds 121 systems, with China (68 systems) and Japan (34 systems) leading in that region. Europe has 107 systems with the U.K. (25), France (22) and Germany (20)
