China's Supercomputer Aims for Gordon Bell Prize Once More with 1.5 Exaflops
China's Oceanlite supercomputing system, powered by custom SW26010-Pro processors, is a finalist for the prestigious Gordon Bell Prize. The system, with a theoretical peak performance of 1.5 exaflops, was used to run a time-dependent simulation of a complete jet engine, showcasing its advanced capabilities. The paper also confirmed the system's configuration, including over 100,000 processors and a total of 41.93 million cores. The Oceanlite machine is expected to be presented at the SC23 conference in November, where its performance and potential to surpass other supercomputers, such as the upcoming "El Capitan," will be showcased.
