Sumario:In June 2022, the most powerful supercomputer in the world, FRONTIER from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA, was presented, capable of performing, for the first time, more than a quintillion floating-point operations per second. This event motivated us to carry out an analysis of the worldwide overview of the supercomputing, in four historical moments. The first one is the appearance of the ranking of the 500 most powerful supercomputers on the planet, and the other three are the times when supercomputers exceeded the TFlop/s, PFlop/s, and EFlop/s, through four indicators closely associated with the scientific, technological, and academic development for a country. The first refers to the number of supercomputing equipment per country; the second the computing power per region; the third and fourth to the number of supercomputers and the performance occupied by sector.
