Background & analysis
On November 2, 2026, South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT announced that the country's sixth-generation national supercomputer, Hangang, has entered official operation. The system uses a hybrid CPU + GPU architecture built around NVIDIA GH200 superchips, with a total of 9,936 CPUs and 8,496 GPUs delivering a theoretical performance of 614PF.
According to the ministry, Hangang is powerful enough to rank among the top ten systems on the TOP500 global supercomputer list in its November 2026 edition. Compared with Nurion, which entered service in 2018, the new system delivers 24x the computing performance, 10x the storage capacity, and 4x the network performance, while adding AI capabilities that its predecessor did not have. The announcement on that day stands as the latest available development; no further reporting on the final TOP500 ranking has been published.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
