China on Wednesday announced a new supercomputing machine that was produced locally and, according to state news agency Xinhua, is many times more powerful than the previous model.
The National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou introduced the "Tianhe Xingyi" supercomputing system during an industrial event in the provincial capital of Guangdong, southern China, according to Xinhua. Further information about the new system's processing capacity was withheld by Xinhua.
However, the center's director, Lu Yutong, was stated in the report as stating that the new computer, which employed architecture that was built domestically, exceeded Tianhe-2, one of China's fastest supercomputers, in areas including networking, storage, applications, and CPU computing power.
The National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) is developing Tianhe-2, which is housed at the National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou. Tianhe-2 topped a list of the 500 fastest systems in the world for three years running starting in 2013, but it lost its top spot in 2016 when the U.S. government put the NUDT on a blacklist, preventing the university from using Intel (INTC.O) processors in its supercomputers.
Other well-known Chinese supercomputers include Tianhe-2, which came in at number 10, and Sunway TaihuLight, which was created by the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi and rated seventh on the June 2023 list.
The computer community is anxiously awaiting more revelations because Tianhe Xingyi's computing capacity is yet unknown in precise detail. Lu Yutong clarified the operational requirements for supercomputers and underlined their critical significance in satisfying the growing computing demands of various fields. These include big data analysis, huge model training in artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing.
Tianhe Xingyi's thoughtful design emphasizes its dedication to solving changing computing issues, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence and big data applications.
