抛弃Intel U！中国自主芯片超算“神威太湖”登世界第一：超10亿亿次

当台湾人还在讨论怎么在引入中资的同时保留自己的“核心技术”不给大陆时，
有了这么一条新闻

国际TOP500组织今天公布了最新一期世界超算性能榜单，中国再次登顶，包揽一二名。
榜单显示，中国自主研制的“神威太湖之光”超级计算机峰值性能达每秒12.5亿亿次，
成为世界首台运行速度超10亿亿次的超级计算机，央视称，它一分钟计算能力相当于70
亿人用计算器不间断计算32年！
另据了解，“神威太湖之光”设计稳定运行的最大浮点运算速度每秒9.3亿亿次，比“天
河二号”快出两倍，效率更是提高3倍，且功耗也从17808KW降低到15371KW。
最最振奋的是，TOP500组织称，“神威太湖之光”使用的是中国自主知识产权的芯片，
而非来自Intel，令人震惊。
资料显示，神威太湖之光”由国家并行计算机工程技术研究中心研制，安装在国家超级
计算无锡中心。
本次排名前十的还有美国的“泰坦”与“红杉”、日本的“京”、美国的“米拉”和“
三一”、瑞士的“代恩特峰”、德国的“花尾榛鸡”和沙特阿拉伯的“沙欣II”。
"It’s not based on 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."
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.
We have a more detailed analysis on that trend in particular here, but needless to say, this new system is remarkable architecturally, particularly in t
erms of its floating point per watt capabilities—as well as politically, as
this marks yet another divergence from the standard American-driven X86 norm for other machines around the world.
The Sunway TaihuLight machine has a peak performance of 125.4 petaflops across 10,649,600 cores. It sports 1.31 petabytes of main memory. To put the pea
k performance figure in some context, recall that the current (by far top)
supercomputer until this announcement had been Tianhe-2 with 33.86 peak petaflop capability. One key difference, other than the clear peak potential, is
that TianhuLight came out of the gate with demonstrated high performance on
real-world applications, some of which are able to utilize over 8 million of
the machine’s 10 million-plus cores.
