# 7 Month ago
About seven months ago I wrote that Gridcoin would be ranked 60th on the list of the 500 fastest supercomputers by computing power. You can find this post [here](https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@grider123/gridcoin-is-the-sixtieth-fastest-supercomputer-in-the-world). 
At that time, the team Gridcoin had a **RAC of 333,037,098.50127** which corresponds to approximately **1665 TeraFLOPS.**

# Today
Meanwhile, the Gridcoin team has developed a **RAC of 1,050,809,718.49334**. This is more than three times as much as 7 months ago! A tremendous increase, in my opinion.

1,050,809,718.49334 RAC / 200,000 RAC/TeraFLOP = **5254.04859 TeraFLOPS**

With this computing power, Gridcoin would land on **22nd place in the list of the world's fastest supercomputers**, replacing the computer named JUQUEEN from Germany.
This computer has 458,752 cores and has a computing power of 5,008.9 TeraFLOP.

As we can see from these numbers, Gridcoin does indeed have the opportunity to actively support research. **In this sense: Keep on crunching!**
