For example,

A 10 digit alphanumeric password "13a8Be502" will take 4 seconds to crack against the TianHe-2.
A 17 digit alphanumeric password "13a8Be502eF673d5" will take about 12 months to crack.



Note: This does not take into account the first quantum computer created by D-Wave Systems systems in Vancouver, BC, Canada which can brute-force all combinations in one pass.
