China houses the worlds fastest supercomputer at 33.8pflop/s it was due to be upgraded to 100 pflop/s but Uncle Sam stopped or at least delayed this by banning Intel from selling more Intel Phi "Knights Corner" to China
U.S. issues bogus, unenforceable ban of supercomputer chips for China | Computerworld
now assuming this ban is lifted or China sneaks around it. Tianhe-3 could easily be upgraded to "Knights Landing" which is coming in 2016
it's easy as swapping out Knights Corner each co-processor is 1 tflop/s and add in Knights Landing which is 3 Tflop/s then going even a step further China would of added more racks!! Tianhe-3 in 2016 would have been over 200 Pflop/s a second or more!!! next closes would be Trinity which is due to get it's Knight Landing products in 2016 as and have a speed at 40 Pflop/s
