China’s new supercomputer will be used to speed up greatly scientific calculations,such as hurricane and tsunami modeling,cancer research,car design and even studying stars.
In 2008,two US scientists put together a step-by-step guide on how to build a supercomputer using PlayStation 3 video-game consoles (控制台).Modern supercomputers are built by combining thousands of small computer servers (服务器) and using software to turn them into one large computer. Really,any organization with enough material and technology can create a fast machine.
The Chinese system follows that model by linking thousands upon thousands of computer servers.But the secret behind the system-and the technological achievement-is China’s own networking technology.“That technology was built by them,” Dongarra said.“They are taking supercomputing very seriously and using a lot of time and money.”
“China is still a developing country,” said Sha Chaoqun,manager at Dawning Company which is the leading supercomputer maker in China.“Maybe one day,China’s total computing power can be greater than that of the US,but there is still a long way to go before we get there.”
