China developed the first generation of Tianhe-1 in 2009SuperComputers, with competence around the worldSuperComputersGood results have been achieved in the competition. However, in 2015, the United States took measures to cut off supply and ban the export of high-performance computing to ChinaChips, which is for ChinaSuperComputersDevelopment has had a big impact.
In response to the U.S. supply cut strategy, China has to accelerate independent research and developmentDomestic CPU。In 2016, China launched a Shenwei-based treatmentInstrument 26010ofDivinity. Taihu Light supercomputer, thisDomestic CPUThe peak performance reached 125pflops. The light of Taihu LakeBecome the most powerful in the worldSuperComputersand ranked first on the TOP500 list for four consecutive times.
Despite the ChineseSuperComputersThere has been a huge breakthrough in performance, but the top of the United StatesPoint supercomputerAt the end of 2018The light of Taihu LakeTranscend. StillThe light of Taihu LakeThe potential is still huge, and if it is scaled up to 120 cabinets, its peak performance can even exceed that of the world's strongest todayAmerican Frontier supercomputer。In addition, recentlyShenwei 26010ChipsThe upgraded version of SW26010proIt's already available, and the performance is even more powerful, inDivinity. Ocean Light supercomputerhas been applied and has exceeded the speed of exascale operations.
ExceptThe light of Sunway Taihu LakeIn addition, another one in ChinaSuperComputersTianhe-2It also embarked on the road of independent research and development after the supply was cut off in the United States. Tianhe-2Launched domesticAcceleratorsMatrix 2000, which replaces IntelxeonphiAcceleratorsTianhe-2Upgraded version ofTianhe 2a, peak performance from the previous 549pflops increased to about 100pflops.
Recently,Tianhe 2aUpgraded version ofTianhe Xingyi supercomputerOfficially released, it is equipped with the matrix3000 processor, which is completely independently developed by China. The Matrix3000 processor contains 16 general-purpose CPUs, 96 control cores, and 1536 coresAcceleratorscore, with a total of 1597440,000 cores. Its peak performance reached 620pflops, yesThe light of Taihu LakeAbout 5 times the performance. Globally, 620pflops is second only to the performance of 620pflopsAmerican Frontier supercomputer, ranked second.
ChineseSuperComputersIn fact, it provenDomestic CPUpotential and strength. Although the United States is trying to contain China through the policy of cutting off suppliesSuperComputersdevelopment, but China has achieved breakthrough results with its self-developed Shenwei processor series.
Shenwei processingInstrument 26010It is a high-performance computing system independently developed by ChinaChips, is applied to:Divinity. Taihu Light supercomputerMiddle. Its advantage lies in its powerful computing power and high scalability. Based on 26010ChipsofThe light of Taihu LakeOn June 20, 2016, it won the first place on the TOP500 list with a peak performance of 125pflops, far exceeding the second place.
Recent**Shenwei 26010ChipsThe enhanced version of the SW26010proIt has further improved the performance, and the speed of exascale operations has already exceeded 10 billion times, but it has not yet been disclosed to the public. This proves ChinaDomestic CPUInSuperHuge potential in computing.
In addition to the Shenwei processor series, China'sTianhe-2SuperComputersDomestic production has also been successfully adoptedAcceleratorsMatrix2000 adds new capabilities and competitiveness to China's independent research and development of supercomputing. And the latest releaseTianhe Xingyi supercomputerIt is equipped with a Matrix3000 processor, showing the great progress of China's self-developed CPU.
The emergence of China's domestic CPUs has brought people a bright outlook for the future. Through independent research and development, China no longer relies on foreign technology, and has achieved inSuperA major breakthrough in computing. This is on full displayChinese science and technologyThe rise of strength also proves itDomestic CPUGloballyTechnologyCompetitiveness in the competition.
However,Domestic CPUThere are still some challenges. First of all, compared with large foreign manufacturers, ChinaDomestic CPUThere is still room for improvement in technology research and development, production and manufacturing. Secondly,Domestic CPUIt also needs to move towards commercialization and expand the scope of application in the market. Only by gaining a sustained leading position in the market competition can we be in the worldTechnologyStand firm on stage.
However, ChinaDomestic CPUThe outlook is promising. China attaches great importance to itTechnologyInnovation and independent research and development, increase inDomestic CPUThe strength of support. Similarly, many companies are also actively involvedDomestic CPUR&D and production, promoteDomestic CPUTechnological developments.
Domestic CPUAnd not only inSuperThe field of computing has shown its strengths, and it is gradually being applied in other fields. Domestic CPUThe success is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a rightChinese science and technologyThe great encouragement of strength will also help to promote China as a wholeTechnologylevel up.
In general, ChinaDomestic CPUInSuperThe up-and-coming in computing is a testament toChinese science and technologyThe rise of power. Through independent research and developmentDomestic CPU, China inSuperThere have been major breakthroughs in the field of computing and across the globeTechnologyRise to prominence in the competition. Despite some challenges, ChinaDomestic CPUThe firm development direction and great potential make people full of confidence. It is believed that in the near future, ChinaDomestic CPUwill continue to grow and develop, forChinese science and technologyThe improvement of strength will make a more important contribution.
