> A while back I recall reading rumors that China didn't even know what to process on their Tianhe-2. That kind of makes a supercomputer look like a pile of hardware, no matter how well it's organized or engraved.

There are enough high quality universites in China to make use of it. I can not imagine this is true. There may have not been one big algorithm that it was built for, but university researchers always have stuff to compute.
