I used to be a heavy user of the CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) software listed, e.g. Ansys, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, Patran, Hypermesh. But I could only perform these softwares on some very slow PCs. I still remember the days when some very basic/simple calculation would cost me no less than 16hours!

it still suck even with fast modern pc. i used next limit to render 15 mins fluid simulation for my homemade project and took me nearly 20 hours.

New Chinese supercomputer replaces Tianhe-2 as world's fastest system
| June 20, 2016, Monday |

The new system was developed by the Chinese National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology and installed at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi of Jiangsu, an eastern coastal province of China.

Previously, Tianhe-2, an Intel-based Chinese supercomputer, has claimed the No. 1 spot in the past six TOP 500 lists.

The latest list also marked the first time since the inception of the TOP 500 list in 1993 that the United States is not home to the largest number of supercomputer systems.

"With a surge in industrial and research installations registered over the last few years, China leads with 167 systems and the U.S. is second with 165," the statement said.

China also leads the performance category, thanks to the No. 1 and No. 2 systems, it said.

"It's a trend with China," Jack Dongarra, professor of the University of Tennessee and editor of the list, told Xinhua in an email. "They had zero systems in 2001 and today they surpass the United States. No other nation has seen such rapid growth."

Dongarra said supercomputers are more important than ever as they provide capability benefiting a broad range of industries, including energy, pharmaceutics, aircraft, automobile and entertainment.

T on Monday dethroned China's Tianhe-2 from the top in a list of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world.

"China maintained its No. 1 ranking on the 47th edition of the TOP 500 list of the world's top supercomputers," said a statement from the semiannual list compiled by U.S. and European experts, "but with a new system built entirely using processors designed and made in China."

Sunway TaihuLight, with 10,649,600 computing cores comprising 40,960 nodes, is twice as fast and three times as efficient as Tianhe-2, which has a performance of 33.86 quadrillion calculations per second, or petaflop/s.

NANJING, June 20 (Xinhua) -- China's new supercomputing system, Sunway-TaihuLight, was named the world's fastest computer at the International Supercomputing Conference in Germany on Monday.

The National Supercomputing Center was also unveiled Monday in Wuxi, east China's Jiangsu Province, where the new-generation supercomputer is installed.

With processing capacity of 125.436 petaflops (PFlops) per second, which means it can perform quadrillions of calculations per second at peak performance, Sunway-TaihuLight is the first supercomputer to achieve speeds in excess of 100 PFlops.

The computing power of the supercomputer is provided by a China-developed many-core CPU chip, which is just 25 square cm.

World’s Fastest Supercomputer Now Has Chinese Chip Technology

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...supercomputer-now-has-chinese-chip-technology

• Previous leading machines depended on US-designed chips
  
• 
  More Chinese supercomputers in top 500 than US for first time

In a threat to U.S. technology dominance, the world’s fastest supercomputer is powered by Chinese-designed semiconductors for the first time. It’s a breakthrough for China’s attempts to reduce dependence on imported technology.

The Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer, located at the state-funded Chinese Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, is more than twice as powerful as the previous winner, according to TOP500, a research organization that compiles the rankings twice a year. The machine is powered by a SW26010 processor designed by Shanghai High Performance IC Design Center, TOP500 said Monday.

"It’s not based on an existing architecture. They built it themselves," said Jack Dongarra, a professor at the University of Tennessee and creator of the measurement method used by TOP500. "This is a system that has Chinese processors."

China’s determination to build its domestic chip industry and replace its dependence on imports that cost as much as oil. The world’s most populous country may also try to lessen its reliance on U.S. companies for defense technology and security infrastructure. Supercomputers aren’t major consumers of chips. But being at the heart of the world’s most powerful machines helps processor makers persuade the broader market to consider their technology.
"This is the first time that the Chinese have more systems than the U.S., so that, I think, is a striking accomplishment," said Dongarra. The Chinese had no machines in the 2001 list, he noted. In the latest, China has 167 entries compared with 165 for the U.S.

Previous supercomputer winners have had processors built on U.S. technology from Intel Corp. -- the world’s largest chipmaker -- International Business Machines Corp. or a derivative of Sun Microsystems designs.

The top position was previously occupied by Tianhe-2, built on Intel chips by China’s National Supercomputer Center in Guangzhou. That system is now second, according to TOP500.

Sunway TaihuLight’s victory is a particular challenge to Intel’s dominance in computer servers, where it currently controls about 96 percent of the market. It announced a joint venture with a Chinese organization to domesticate some of its technology earlier this year.

Supercomputers are multiple server computers linked together in a way that allows them to process huge data sets and run the most complex calculations. While they’re hugely expensive and relatively rare, they showcase new technologies that often make their way into corporate data centers.

An Intel spokesman declined to comment on the new rankings.

Other chipmakers such as Qualcomm Inc. are working with Chinese organizations to build processors in the country. Technology provider ARM Holdings Plc, whose products are at the heart of most smartphones, is also trying to grab a slice of the Chinese market.

The machine in question could have claimed the world's No. 1 back in November 2015.

But the Chinese are an extremely conservative bunch.

93 Petaflop Chinese Supercomputer is World’s Fastest on Latest TOP500 List | insideHPC
June 19, 2016 by Rich Brueckner

A new machine called Sunway TaihuLight in China is the fastest supercomputer on the planet. Announced today with the release of the latest TOP500 list, the 93 Petaflop machine sports over 10.6 Million compute cores. “The latest list marks the first time since the inception of the TOP500 that the U.S is not home to the largest number of systems. With a surge in industrial and research installations registered over the last few years, China leads with 167 systems and the U.S. is second with 165.

this is news. i thought the chip is based on sparc, power, mips or dec

 

[cirr]

it didn't hit 100 Pflop it hit 93 Pflop


and I thought it was suppose to be 300 Pflop

Rubbish

The Sunway TaihuLight at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi hit 93 petaflops/second on the Linpack benchmark and a theoretical peak performance of 125.4 Pflop/s. It uses 40,960 Sunway SW26010 processors designed by the Shanghai High Performance IC Design Center.

Don't make a mountain out of your ignorance. The 200-300 Pflop/s machine will be the upgrade of Tianhe-2A.

 

[21 Dec 2012]

I even made a bet with one of your brothers that it wouldn't surpass 100 Pflops

https://defence.pk/threads/china-wi...supercomputer-next-month.430186/#post-8302824

https://defence.pk/threads/china-wi...omputer-next-month.430186/page-2#post-8304522

though I am surprised by how efficient this new supercomputer is -congrats to China on that- I was sure it would be over 20 MW

Haha
Where are these two now?

Lets have a bet.

50 dollars donated to Diane fossey foundation for gorillas. Print the receipt on screen for the loser.

https://gorillafund.org/donate

I say China breaks the 100 pflops.

Yes or no?

How about this? If we did show to break 100flop/s next month, you will use my avatar for a week and if I lose, I will use your avatar for a week. How about that, myf riend?

PS Congrats to China
