Sina US stock news Beijing time on the 17th Russian satellite network reported that China once again dominate the world's supercomputer rankings, not only swept the top two, and the number of listings far exceeds the United States.Received the Russian Satellite News Agency interviewed experts believe that China spending huge sums of money development Computing technology is not only aiming to maintain its leading position in the global market, but also because the demand for 'super brains' in China's domestic market is also quite high.
Global supercomputing Top500 latest list released on Monday, China has 202 super-top record, a record high, while the United States over the figure dropped to 144. In the last ranking, the United States 'Titan' lost to Switzerland 'Entebbe', ranked fourth, while this ranking is behind Japan's 'Xiaoguang', ranked fifth, so the United States has been the top two consecutive decline.
China's super-action, 'Shenwei · Taihu Lake Light' and 'Milky Way No. 2' has been divided for four consecutive runner-up 'Shenwei · Taihu Lake' for climate modeling and other scientific research, computing speed of 9.301 billion Times.
In an interview with Satcom, an expert in mathematical modeling and computer modeling of socio-economic phenomena, Deputy Director of the Central Institute of Economic Mathematics at the Russian Academy of Sciences, Alberta Bakhtizin said: "China has made a huge investment in this area. These supercomputers are mainly used in climate prediction, cryptography, fluid mechanics, DNA research, and other fields.China's fastest supercomputers have used independently developed processors.
At present, the Central Academy of Economic Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the China National Supercomputing Center Guangzhou are actively cooperating in the research and development of large-scale software systems, and in the future they can evaluate the possible consequences of implementing large-scale projects such as the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative. Jin said the scope of the assessment involves a wide range of social, economic and ecological fields.
Bakhtiatun pointed out: 'This idea is unique in itself, and first of all it is a fairly new tool that allows us to consider modeling systems that are as close to reality as possible. Second, the most advanced hardware is used, People are very important because they bet on this aspect. "He said that China suggested that 'Milky Way 2' be used when needed for operation and that the user name and password have also been provided.
According to experts at Tianhe II Research Center, Tianhe II will use the new Matrix2000 accelerator by the end of this year to replace the original Intel accelerator. Therefore, Tianhe II will be fully completed as a supercomputer in China with a maximum operating speed of 1 billion yuan per second Billion times.
Experts said: 'Relying on the Milky Way, the state super-Guangzhou Center to create a super-application-oriented domain-oriented application platform for the construction of super-applied domestic software environment, has been in astronomy and cosmology, geosciences, life sciences, new materials New Energy, Large Equipment Manufacturing and Smart City. At present, the number of subscribers of 'Tianhe No.2' has exceeded 2,500 and it is one of the supercomputer centers with the largest number of users and the most extensive application in the world By the end of this year, Tianhe II will replace the original Intel Xeon Phi Accelerator with Matrix2000, which was independently developed by National Defense Science and Technology, and further upgrade its high-speed Internet, memory and storage. The peak computing speed of Phase II system theory will be increased to nearly 10 billion times Every second.
Industry experts pointed out that the United States apparently did not like China's leadership in the production of computer accessories and other electronic components (computer hardware) and had therefore tried to ban the export of Intel supercomputers to China, while at the same time China was increasingly opposed to the use of US software And related standards, committed to independent research and development products.
