E-class computers are recognized as 'the next crown in the super-computer world', and the United States, Japan, the European Union, and Russia have all proposed the development of a multi-billion-dollar computer program to strengthen the R&D layout and application development of high-performance computing. Under the support of the National Parallel Computer Engineering Technology Research Center, the United Nations Supercomputing Jinan Center and other teams after more than two years of key technical research and breakthroughs, successfully developed Shenwei E-class prototype system, and completed deployment and put into use in the National Supercomputing Jinan Center.
It is understood that for the development requirements of E-class computers, the development team has achieved a multi-state fusion computing architecture, a new generation of Shenwei many-core processors, interconnection networks, software-defined mass storage, efficient power supply and enhanced phase change cooling. Major technological breakthroughs. The main body of the National Supercomputing Jinan Center is the Shandong Academy of Sciences. Since the launch of the Shenwei Blu-ray supercomputer in 2011, the center has insisted on cultivating the ecological concept of domestic processors, in the smart ocean, climate meteorology, information security, aerospace, modern Agriculture, new energy and new materials, advanced manufacturing and other fields have emerged, forming a 'scientific computing public service + industrial computing cloud platform' service model, which has become an important means to promote basic scientific research and major technological research.
Up to now, the E-class prototype computer has completed 35 major computing tasks in 12 fields including global climate change, ocean numerical simulation, biomedical simulation, big data processing and brain-like intelligence. Among them, 22 applications have extended to E The ability of the full-scale computer scale, six applications have been successfully selected as the 'Gordon Bell Prize' called the Nobel Prize in the field of supercomputing applications.
Yang Meihong, director of the Shandong Computing Center (National Supercomputer Jinan Center), told reporters that Shenwei E-class computer will be completed and deployed in 2020, and will take the lead in crossing the multi-billion-dollar step. The new generation of multi-core processors is expected to become the world. The fastest processor, the node scale can be extended to hundreds of thousands of orders, supporting system performance from 1E to 10E.
