No specifications have been revealed, but officials have claimed that it surpasses the capabilities of the famous Tianhe-2 supercomputer.
The National Supercomputing Center (NSC) in Guangzhou, China, has unveiled the Tianhe Xingyi, a homegrown supercomputer, at an industrial event in Guangdong Province, which several media reports have confirmed. The NSC is the parent organization under whose guidance the Tianhe-2 supercomputer was also developed.
Supercomputers are a crucial component of a nation’s progress as they aid in solving the most complex and technical problems. The US has conventionally led the world in hosting the fastest supercomputers, as captured by the TOP500 listings, while also leading in the absolute number of supercomputers available to its researchers.
The high computing prowess of supercomputers can be used to carry out simulations for understanding climate change, carrying out material research, space exploration, and finding cures for various diseases. Of late, supercomputers have assumed importance for developing AI models, and access to advanced supercomputers could be critical in determining who leads the next frontier of information technology.
