I want to game cs on this.

Supercomputers have long been a field dominated by the United States and China, and Europe has actually hinged a good deal. Now the EU is apparently tired of this, recently they published a press release announcing a massive, fresh venture on the field.

The EU Commission proposes to users $ 1 billion, about $ 9.6 billion, for the construction of world-class supercomputers. The purpose is to achieve greater independence in the area.

Relying on exaflops performance within a few years
"Today, European researchers and industry process their data outside the EU because their needs are not met by the performance available in the EU. This lack of independence threatens privacy, data protection, commercial trade secrets and ownership of data, it's stated in the press release.

No supercomputers are yet near this performance. The most powerful supercomputer today, Chinese Sunway TaihuLight, has a performance of 93 petaflops. Thus, it is required a twist of this performance to get into exaflops performance.
