On June 20, 2016, german Frankfurt international exceeds calculate congress (ISC) , the whole world that announced new first phase is super the computer 500 strong list. Be located in China not to have stannic country of super computation center " too the light of the lake " , be judged to be the super computer with the fastest whole world.
The whole world is the fastest super computer
Go up this in the list of a list of names posted up, super computer amount of China (167) surmount the United States first (165) , become have the state with super computer maximum amount, and be located in tertiary Japan, have the 29 a list of names posted up on the stage only. "Too the light of the lake " it is by the country research center of technology of collateral computer project is developed, its traversal speed is every second 100 million times 930 million, be equivalent to the serviceability of many 200 common computer, it is the super computer with the rapiddest rate of a whole world " the Milky way 2 " 3 times of traversal speed. Those who be located in center of Guangzhou super computer " the Milky way 2 " , hold the first position 6 years, until " too the light of the lake " appear.
"Too the light of the lake " have 41000 chip, every chip has 260 processor kernel, have 10651000 processor kernel in all, random memory is 1.3PB (pat byte) , than " the Milky way 2 " slightly little. But, "Too the light of the lake " specific power consumption covers with tiles for 15.3 million, more made of baked clay than 17.8 million " the Milky way 2 " want more energy-saving.
Completely own research and development
"Too the light of the lake " the place that deserves attention most is these not only, the super computer that completely own research and development produces it or our country first time, core technology does not rely on abroad completely. "The Milky way 2 " the chip that super computer used the United States, hardware comes from company of Er of Yu Ying spy, IBM company and Sun company respectively, and " too the light of the lake " the chip that uses Chinese own property right completely.
Long-term since, the chip technology of our country lags behind at the country such as the United States, Japan and Korea all the time, but, our country considers to make progress in what urge this side energetically all the time. At the beginning of 2015, american government announces to prohibit selling the product related to super computer to China, china has self-improvement only, quickening research and development to give the core technology of own property right just is only outlet. Here setting falls, chinese government increases the investment in super computer domain ceaselessly. In March 2016, china announces to will invest 24 billion dollar to develop semiconductor industry, "The Milky way 2 " and " too the light of the lake " in our country also 863 projects key supports next research and development to produce. "Too the light of the lake " the front row that research and development makes clear China successfully to develop a respect to had gone in the world in super computer soft hardware.
Super computer application is wide
An existing fundamental use value of super computer, be in for example respect of biology medical treatment, super computer can be helped search a disease to treat plan. Usually, a kind of new drug arrives from research and development appear on the market the time with long need, and the development efficiency that super computer can improve new drug substantially, reduce development cost; Before clinical experiment, use big data simulation, forecast the medicaments reaction in human body, as soon as possible eliminates unsuccessful compound.
Super computer still can build a model through 3D, any parts of imitate human body. For example, adopt the hemal system of scanning human body, build arterial system model, undertake to the blood stream of human body imitate is analysed, will judge a patient to whether can have the risk of cerebral block. This kind of method not only accurate, return the anguish that can reduce a patient greatly.
In social side, super computer can apply in square field surface almost: The disaster such as social behavior imitate, earthquake is forecasted, forecast of exploration of physical imitate, oil, weather, great to human society meaning.
However, we also must see, the super computer of our country also is put in inadequacy, although traversal speed is the fastest, but fail to throw commercial application adequately, the research and development of super computer, safeguard, cost of specific power consumption is very high, if cannot develop applied latent capacity, service socioeconomy, it is enormous resources waste. And the technology upgrades also is to the position spells on sheet of a list of names posted up not merely, more important is trend application, offer advantage to orgnaization of enterprise, scientific research, society, utmost develops the real property of forward position science and technology.
