The record
History
The world's installed compute from January 2008 to October 2026 — from 171.04 exaFLOP/s to 85.85 zettaFLOP/s. That is 502x in 19 years, and the rate is still rising.

at the current rate
The trailing year ran at +56.2% against a whole-series compound rate of 39.3%. The curve is steepening, and the reason is visible in the breakdown: AI accelerators grew +171% over the same year while consumer silicon grew +16%. 386 data points, monthly with a daily tail.
The whole series
Installed compute in zettaFLOP/s on a log axis — the only way to show a 502x range on one chart. A straight line here is steady exponential growth; the visible steepening after 2023 is the AI build-out compounding on top of it. Dashed markers are the turning points of the era.
Milestones
Every power-of-ten the world's compute has crossed, and the ones still ahead. The gaps between them are shrinking.

At the current rate the world adds 138,424 H100-equivalents a day — about 136.96 EFLOP/s of new silicon every twenty-four hours.
The daily record
The most recent 120 snapshots. Rows marked reconstructed were rebuilt from installed-base and shipment series rather than captured live — everything before the January 2026 anchor is.
