Why is it said that Sunway Taihu Light uses a domestic CPU with China s independent intellectual p

Shenwei acquired DEC's alpha21164 architecture, which is still quite advanced, the first to reach 1G when 500 600MHz was common, and many designs were too advanced at the time (the price was also quite advanced).

But then Intel and AMD did not continue the subsequent architecture of 21164. Now it seems that only China is continuing to develop the follow-up structure of 21164. Because the company has bought it, it is all Chinese, so it claims to be completely China's independent intellectual property rights.

Sunway Taihu Light Supercomputer is a supercomputer developed by the National Parallel Computer Engineering Technology Research Center. At 3 p.m. on June 20, 2016, at the World Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Frankfurt, the TOP500 organization topped the list of "Sunway Taihu Light" supercomputer system, becoming the world's first supercomputer with a speed of more than one billion operations.

The advent of "China Chip" and "Shenwei 26010" has also become a sharp weapon for China's independent research and development to break the 30-year technological blockade. "Sunway Taihu Light" won the top spot, which can be said to be a shot in the arm for the development of China's supercomputer field.

In July 2016, it was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. At about 4:20 a.m. on November 18, 2016, the Chinese team won the 2016 "Gordon Bell" Award for the application of "Global Atmospheric Non-static Cloud Resolution Simulation" running on the "Sunway Taihu Light".

On June 19, 2017, the latest list of the world's top 500 supercomputers was officially released, and China's "Sunway Taihu Light" won the championship. In August 2017, Chinese scientists broke the record by creating the largest virtual universe on the Sunway Taihu Light computer, using 10 trillion digital particles to simulate the formation and early expansion of the universe.

On July 15, Luo Wen, President of Guinness World Records Greater China, presented the Guinness World Records certificate to Yang Guangwen, director of the National Supercomputer Wuxi Center, in Beijing, announcing that China's self-developed supercomputer "Sunway Taihu Light" is "the fastest computing computer".

At about 4:20 a.m. on November 18, the Chinese team, researcher Yang Chao of the Institute of Software of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xue Wei, Fu Haohuan, associate professors of Tsinghua University, and the research team composed of Beijing Normal University won the 2016 "Gordon Bell" Award for the application of "Global Atmospheric Non-static Cloud Resolution Simulation" running on the "Sunway Taihu Light", realizing a breakthrough in China's high-performance computing application achievements in this award.

On June 19, the latest list of the world's top 500 supercomputers was officially released, and China's "Sunway Taihu Light" won the championship.

In November, a new issue of the world's top 500 supercomputers was released, and China's "Sunway Taihu Light" won the championship for the fourth time in a row.

1. The peak computing speed of "Sunway Taihu Light" has reached one billion times per second, and its one-minute computing power is equivalent to the world's 7.2 billion people using calculators at the same time for 32 years of continuous and uninterrupted computing, which is the world's first supercomputer with a speed of more than 1 billion billion seconds. At the same time, its continuous computing speed has reached a hundred billion times per second, which is three times that of the previous world champion "Tianhe-2", and it is currently the world's most powerful supercomputer with continuous computing power.

2. "Sunway Taihu Light" is the most powerful supercomputer in China made entirely of "China Chip" for the first time, after "Tianhe-2" used Intel Xeon processors and Xeon PHI coprocessors.

3. The power consumption ratio of "Sunway Taihu Light" has reached 100 million times per watt, and its power consumption has not risen but decreased while the running speed and continuous computing power have been greatly improved, making it the world's most powerful but greenest supercomputer. Sunway Taihu Light ranks first in the world in both sustained performance and power-consumption ratios, and is far ahead of other supercomputers.

In today's era, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is emerging. China has put scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall development of the country, vigorously implemented the innovation-driven development strategy, and created a number of "important weapons of the country" that have amazed the world! Among them, the light of Sunway Taihu Lake is one of the most important ones.

On June 19, at the Global Supercomputing Conference in Frankfurt, Germany, China's "Sunway Taihu Light" topped the list of the world's top 500 supercomputers. This is the third time since its launch in June 2016 that it has been named the world's fastest supercomputer, making it a "triple crown".

Sunway Taihu Light" is developed using China's own chips. In the field of supercomputers, which are known as the "important weapons of the country", its success marks that China's supercomputing technology has made key breakthroughs in many aspects, and is of strategic significance for enhancing comprehensive national strength.

Kamui: "How fast is it?" It is understood that its 1-minute computing power is equivalent to 7.2 billion people around the world using calculators at the same time for 32 years of non-stop calculation.

Not only is the speed leading the world, but the application ability of "Shenwei" is also accelerating to follow. In November last year, the "10 million core scalable global atmospheric dynamics full implicit simulation" application project based on "Sunway Taihu Light" won the highest award in the international high-performance computing application field - "Gordon Bell Prize", filling the gap in the award in China's supercomputing application field.
