1. Introduction
Currently, the computation capability of No.1 supercomputer in TOP500 list 1) reaches hundreds of Petaflops. It is expected that the first exascale supercomputer will be debuted in around 2021, which will open the exascale era for high performance computing (HPC). However, because of the slowdown of both Moore's law [1] and Dennard Scaling law [2], the improvements of system performance and efficiency are becoming increasingly difficult, bringing unprecedented challenges on architecture design for exascale supercomputer [3-12]. As one of the leading teams of supercomputer research and development in China, Sunway has solid foundations on both theoretical research and engineering practice on the supercomputer design, which has been proven by the successful implementations of Sunway BlueLight [13,14], Sunway TaihuLight [15-19] and Sunway exascale prototype. The successful developments of Sunway supercomputers demonstrate that the comprehensive co-design for system architecture, including the processor, interconnect network, assembly structure, power supply, cooling system, system software, parallel algorithm and application support, is crucial to achieve optimal system performance and efficiency.
