None of the "supercomputers" that countries are claiming are "supercomputers" are actually "supercomputers." They're just commodity server hardware boxes connected together over a network.

This whole "we've got the fastest supercomputer" thing that's been going on since the 1970s is just a big dick waving contest to see who can fit the most PC servers into a data center.
