Next Frontier of Supercomputer: China's Exascale in the Making

[Jlaw]

Who says that? Western Sourgrape? Tianhe -2 is secretly aiding military project like HGV and DF-41, CZ-9 rocket.. Only Chinese insider knows all these. After all Tianhe -2 is owned by PLA.

Then those sougrape American will come up self comforting theory like TianHe-2 is useless and only American is the best.

What a loser!

china did use Abacus for its first nuclear bomb.

China's exascale supercomputer operational by 2020

Xinhua, June 16, 2016

A supercomputer capable of at least a billion billion calculations per second will enter service by 2020, head of the school of computing at the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) said Wednesday.

According to the national plan for the next generation of high performance computers, China will develop an exascale computer during the 13th Five-Year-Plan period (2016-2020).

"The government of Tianjin Binhai New Area, NUDT and the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin are working on the project, and we plan to name it Tianhe-3," said Liao Xiangke, the school head.

In 2010, the country's first petaflop supercomputer Tianhe-1 capable of at least a million billion calculations per second came into service in the supercomputing center. At present, Tianhe-1 performs various tasks including oil exploration, high-end equipment manufacturing, biological medicine and animation design, and serves nearly 1,000 customers.

Any news about the one that is going to be revealed soon, the one based in Wuxi? Also, any other high tech news from Chinese media?

Any news about the one that is going to be revealed soon, the one based in Wuxi? Also, any other high tech news from Chinese media?

Too many to enumerate. For example:

All-solid-state THz imaging radar system

中国电科首次完成全固态太赫兹成像雷达系统样机研制

Any news about the one that is going to be revealed soon, the one based in Wuxi? Also, any other high tech news from Chinese media?

Also large-scale two-dimensional spreading-out of solar array in space

For illustration only.

And deployable perimeter truss antenna

Both major breakthroughs in space technology that will be implemented with the Solar Polar Orbit Radio Telescope(SPORT) project.

Four Volunteers Start 6-month Space Capsule Experiment

Four Chinese volunteers on Friday started a 180-day living experiment in a sealed space capsule, which will test technologies that will support China's deep-space exploration projects.

The volunteers -- three men and one woman -- will live in a sealed capsule in south China's Shenzhen City. Scientists hope the experiment will cast light on how oxygen, water and food can be used and recycled under controlled conditions.

The project has been designed to test the "controlled ecological life support system," which is inspired by technologies used on China's Shenzhou spacecraft.

The 1,340-cubic-meter sealed capsule, which has a floor space of 370 square meters, is divided into eight compartments, including the passenger compartment, resource compartment and greenhouse compartments.

Scientists have cultivated 25 kinds of plants in the capsule, including wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, peanuts, lettuce, edible amaranth and pak choi. Strawberry, cherry, tomato and horseradish are also on the list.

The plants are part of a larger ecological treatment system that will help regenerate oxygen and water, reducing dependency on outside supplies.

Scientists will also monitor and observe how a hermetic environment affects physiological changes, biological rhythms, sleep patterns and emotional wellbeing.

The Astronaut Center of China launched a call for volunteers in May last year, and selected eight people, including an alternative team, from 2,110 candidates.

Two of the volunteers are from the center.

More than a dozen Chinese and overseas institutions are involved in the experiment, including the Shenzhen-based Space Institute of Southern China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harvard University and the German Aerospace Center.

Tianhe 3

 

[jhungary]

I am still waiting on Tianhe-2A upgrade, it was rumoured to be release this month. More than half of this month has already passed..........still no sign of Tianhe-2A

Tianhe 3

That's a monster in the making to solidify China's position.

There is a supercomputer being released by the Chinese in ISC 2016 which starts this monday. It will be the supercomputer at Wuxi, with 125 PFlops peak speed.

The next top 500 list to be scheduled to be released this coming Monday at 9:30 AM at Frankfurt would have the supercomputer in the list. A Chinese person from the project would give a detailed presentation on Tuesday. You can check the site of ISC 2016.

R u spy or what?
But interestingly, most spies and journalist in china can't speak acceptable Chinese.

I am interested in HPC, and follow the scene. So, in the community of HPC, it is not a big secret. Rather, Jack Dongarra, the person behind TOP 500 even told it in open that China will have a new top supercomputer at ISC 2016.
