WASHINGTON adidas yeezy boost 350 v2 sale , June 19 (Xinhua) -- China's Sunway TaihuLight and Tianhe-2 are still the world's fastest and second fastest machines, but America's Titan was squeezed into fourth place by an upgraded Swiss system, according to the latest edition of the semiannual T0P500 list of supercomputers released Monday.


Sunway TaihuLight, described by the T0P500 list as ""far and away the most powerful number-cruncher on the planet,"" maintained the lead since last June, when it dethroned Tianhe-2 adidas nmd human race sale , the former champion for the previous three consecutive years.


It means that a Chinese supercomputer has topped the rankings maintained by researchers in the United States and Germany for nine times in a row.


What's more, Sunway TaihuLight, with a performance of 93 petaflops, was built entirely using processors designed and made in China.


""It highlights China's ability to conduct independent research in the supercomputing field,"" Haohuan Fu, deputy director of the National Supercomputing Center adidas nmd r2 sale , where Sunway TaihuLight was installed, told Xinhua.


""China is simultaneously developing hardware and software technologies of supercomputers,"" Fu said. ""It is expected that rapid development in homegrown hardware technologies, supported by homegrown software, will lead to a stronger research and engineering test capacity in many fields, thus promoting an industrial upgrading and adidas nmd city sock sale , eventually, a sustainable development of China's homegrown supercomputing industry.""


Tianhe-2, capable of performing 33.9 petaflops, was based on Intel chips, something banned by the U.S. government from selling to four supercomputing institutions in China since 2015.


In the latest rankings, the new number three supercomputer is the upgraded Piz Daint adidas nmd xr1 sale , a system installed at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center.


Its current performance of 19.6 petaflops pushed Titan, a machine installed at the U.S. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, into fourth place. Titan's performance of 17.6 petaflops has remained constant since it was installed in 2012.


""This is the second time in the 24-year history of the TOP500 list that the United States has failed to secure any of the top three positions,"" the TOP500 organizers said in a statement.


The only other time this occurred was in November 1996, when three Japanese systems captured the top three spots.


""Nevertheless, the U.S. still claims five of the top 10 supercomputers www.originalsnmdshoes.com , which is more than any other nation,"" they said.


Fu called the upgraded Swiss system ""really a surprise,"" saying that ""it reflects the increased investment in large-scale supercomputers in Europe.""


""Although the U.S. dropped out of the top three, it still has strong strength in high performance computing,"" Fu told Xinhua. ""If everything goes well, we could see two U.S. systems with a performance of 200 to 300 petaflops in the next rankings at the end of the year.""


Just days before the TOP500 announcement adidas nmd for sale , the U.S. Department of Energy said it has awarded AMD, Cray, HP Enterprise, IBM, Intel and NVIDIA a total of 258 million U.S. dollars in funding to accelerate the development of next-generation supercomputers.

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 29 (Xinhua) -- The president of Brazil's football confederation (CBF) Marco Polo Del Nero said Friday he was ""angry and perplexed"" by the arrest of his predecessor Jose Maria Marin on corruption charges.


Del Nero addressed a packed press conference just hours after arriving in Rio from Zurich adidas originals nmd sale , where he was due to vote in the presidential election for world football's governing body FIFA.


The 74-year-old, who served under Marin as the CBF's vice president from June 2012 until April this year, denied any knowledge of irregularities within the organization.


""How would I have known? I didn't sign any contract during President Marin's administration,"" Del Nero said.


As Brazilian football's top official, Del Nero is also an executive committee member of FIFA and South American football's governing body CONMEBOL.


He said he returned to Brazil to provide ""any necessary explanations"" to local authorities, adding he had ""no reason"" to resign.


""Faced with this difficult time adidas nmd sale , I decided to return so that I can set things right,"" Del Nero said.


Marin is currently the CBF's vice-president and a member of the FIFA organizing committee for next year's Rio Olympics.


He was one of seven FIFA officials arrested in Zurich on Wednesday for alleged fraud, racketeering and money laundering over more than two decades.


Swiss police carried out the operation at the request of the US justice department, which named 14 people in its indictment.


When asked if he would show solidarity towards his former boss, Del Nero, who was not named in the indictment Men's Adidas Pure Boost LTD Black Grey Sale , said: ""It's sad. We support other human beings, friends.""


He added: ""I am angry and perplexed. But I have to carry out my job and that is to act in the best interests of the CBF.""


Brazilian authorities have acted swiftly to launch their own probe into allegations of widespread graft in the local football industry.


On Thursday police began an investigation into alleged money laundering and tax evasion involving the country's top football officials.


Former national team striker and current federal senator Romario on Friday announced a congressional inquiry into the claims.
