Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 17, from Beijing Time On the early morning of November 17, at the Global Supercomputing Conference in Denver, USA, a non-linear earthquake was completed by a team led jointly by Fu Haohuan, associate professor of Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University. Analog 'won the Goldin Bell' award for the highest award in international HPC applications.
According to the Department of Earth System Science of Tsinghua University, this achievement is based on the powerful computational power of the 'Superconductor of Shenwei · Taihu Lake' supercomputer. The project team successfully designed and implemented a highly scalable non-linear seismic simulation tool. The advantages of domestic processors in terms of storage, computing resources and so on, can achieve nonlinear seismic simulation up to 18.9PFlops, is the first time in the world to achieve such a large-scale high-resolution, high-frequency nonlinear plasticity seismic simulation tool for the first time The high-resolution accurate simulation of the occurrence of the Tangshan earthquake has enabled scientists to better understand the impact caused by the Tangshan earthquake and is of great reference significance to future studies on earthquake prediction and prevention.

The achievement was jointly completed by Tsinghua University Department of Earth System Science, Department of Computer Science and Shandong University, Southern University of Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, National Center for Parallel Computing Technology and Wuxi National Center for Supercomputing. At the supercomputing conference, the paper entitled "18.9-Pflops Nonlinear Seismic Simulation Based on the Light of the Taiwei Lake: Realizing the Description of 18Hz and 8m Scenes." Fu Haohuan was the first author of the paper, and Fu Haohuan, He Conghui, Xue Wei and Southern University of Science and Technology Chen Xiaofei academicians co-author of the paper.
Previously, YANG Chao et al., Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, received the Gordon Bell Prize at the 2016 Global Supercomputing Conference held in Salt Lake City, USA. Their winning application name was "10 million approved Extensible Global Atmospheric Dynamics Simulation '.
The 'Gordon Bell' award, established in 1987, is the highest award for high performance computing applications.
