In June 2013, Tianhe-2 topped the TOP500 list of fastest supercomputers in the world.It was built by China's National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) in collaboration with the Chinese IT firm Inspur.

                     Tianhe-2 consists of 16,000 computer nodes, each comprising two Intel Ivy Bridge Xeon processors and three Xeon Phi chips for a total of 3,120,000 cores.This represents the world's biggest installation of Ivy Bridge and Xeon Phi chips. Each of the 16,000 nodes possess 88 gigabytes of memory allocated to the Ivy Bridge processors and 8 gigabytes to the Xeon Phi processors. The total CPU plus GPU memory is 1,375 TiB (approximately 1.34 PiB).
