To many Chinese this is world first break through invention, if there is similar definitely copy from China
That can be a boring stuff for Vietnam that has mastered it a couple of decades prior. But it is an accomplishment for China, a minor one among many others, but still, it matters.
It may not be so for countries who have discovered the power of buying from others. But I do not think 3D printing is even necessary for Vietnam. Do not waste your money. Buy second hand frigates.

China has dominated a ranking of the leading BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) universities, with 7 mainland universities ranking the top 10, chinanews.com cited the university ranking report released by British company Quacquareli Symongs (QS) on Wednesday.
Tsinghua University, Peking University and Fudan University rank as the top three universities among BRICS, followed by Romonosov Moscow State University, India Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, University of Science and Technology of China, Nanjing University, University of S?o Paulo and Beijing Normal University.
According to QS, the rank is based on criterions including teaching quality assessments; graduate employment rates and graduates' competitiveness in job markets; the productivity of researchers and the frequency that their papers are citied; faculty ratio with higher educational degree; the proportion of international students and staff.
Specifically, Tsinghua ranks as the top among BRICS universities because it has the largest proportion of researchers with doctoral degrees and the highest productivity in research papers.
The ranking report is based on 55900 academic-related surveys and 8,200 employer-focused surveys.
411 universities of BRICS have participated in the evaluation and 404 universities have their names on the ranking list.
The ranking report has been published amid the 7th BRICS summit held at the southwestern Russian City of Ufa this Wednesday.

Tsinghua University Wins Gold at ISC Student Cluster Contest
Tiffany Trader
At an awards ceremony held yesterday at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Frankfurt, Germany, a packed theater cheered on the winners of the fourth HPCAC-ISC Student Cluster Competition and celebrated the victory of China’s Tsinghua University team as the sleep-deprived students took to the stage to collect their fifth student challenge gold cup (and second ISC win).
The popular student contest, which is jointly organized by the HPC Advisory Council (HPCAC) and ISC, brings together university teams from around the world to compete on site for a grueling three days, during which teams must each build a small cluster computer of their own design and run a series of HPC benchmarks and applications. Other official parameters include a 3000W power limit and a system cap of $2,500.
In keeping with SCC guidelines, students were required to optimize four science applications, three of which are known ahead of time and the other introduced during the competition. The three known apps were LAMMPS, a classical molecular dynamics code; PyFR, a Python-based framework for solving advection-diffusion problems; and Octopus, used for ab initio virtual experimentation. PyFR also doubled as the mystery app, but with additional time constraints involved.
Teams are scored based on their performance on the HPCC benchmark run (10 percent), a suite of test applications (80 percent), as well as their ability to articulate their strategy and results in front of a panel of expert judges (10 percent). At the awards ceremony, the top achievers are presented with prizes in five categories: first, second and third place, highest LINPACK performance and fan favorite.
The declared champion, with the highest overall performance, is China’s Tsinghua University team, comprised of Fangrui Song, Yuxin Wu, Yang Zhang, Youwei Zhuo, Dun Liang, and Miao Wang. Sponsored by Chinese server maker Inspur, the students’ hardware platform consisted of an Inspur Yingxin NF5280M4 2U dual-channel rack server, equipped with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 CPUs and a Tesla K80 GPU, connected with Mellanox EDR fabric. The win marks the fifth time that a team from Tsinghua University has taken home the overall championship at a student cluster event. Gold was also claimed at ASC12, ISC12, and ASC13 and ASC15.
Grabbing second place was the team from Centre for High Performance Computing (CHPC), which came to Germany with a stellar record of having won the previous two competitions. Third place was taken by the team from China’s University of Science and Technology.
Highest LINPACK, with a record 10.78 teraflops, went to Jamia Millia Islamia University (New Delhi, India). Using Boston’s liquid cooled GPU cluster, the team bested the 10.18 teraflops mark previously set by the University of Edinburgh, Boston’s 2014 sponsorship team. Rounding out the crop of new awardees is the fan favorite: the Purdue University & Universidad EAFIT team.
Please join us in congratulating all the winners, including the other contest finalists:

China's Investment In Elite Universities Pays Off: New Ranking
Tsinghua University in Beijing has been ranked as Asia’s third best university, leading a strong Chinese cohort.
A new study compiled by higher education data specialists QS that was released on Tuesday revealed that China is now home to seven universities in the world’s top 200.
“The rankings reveals a uniform rise of the Chinese universities and confirms the success of the Chinese government’s ‘C9 Initiative,’ which has seen billions of yuan channeled into nine elite Chinese universities since 1998 in a bid to attain and retain world-class status,” the report said.
Tsinghua University made a quantum leap of 22 places to number 25 globally, and was complemented by several other Chinese universities: Peking University (41) rose sixteen places, Fudan University (51) rose twenty places, while Shanghai Jiao Tong University (70) rose thirty-four places, the organization said. All of the C9 universities saw a rise.
“[This] demonstrates the comprehensive success of China’s targeted investment in higher education institutions, which sees 10% of all national research expenditure channeled into these elite institutions,” the report said.
The report also said that Hong Kong universities displayed increased international competitiveness and are at the forefront of Asia’s higher education industry.
”Hong Kong has a lot going for it – geographic location at the heart of Asia; status as a gateway to China; highly international universities with a history of operating and publishing in English and a clear capability to operate effectively across disciplines,” said Ben Sowter, head of research.
Two Singaporean universities were deemed the best in Asia: the National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University, both breaking in the global top 15 for the first time.
The QS World University Rankings also confirmed Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as the world’s top university, followed by Harvard, the University of Cambridge and Stanford University.

The real measurement is when the graduates perform well.
