中国正在开发一部采用其自有微处理器的超级计算机。据报导,这部名为 BlueLight MPP 的超级计算机,已于今年9月安装在山东省济南济南的国家超级计算机中心。该计算机执行效能可达每秒1,000兆次──或1 petaflop──内部采用了8,704 个 ShenWhei SW1600 处理器。这部超级计算机还具备先进的水冷系统。
ShenWei SW1600济南运算实验室所设计的第三代处理器。这个16核心的芯片在1.1GHz速度时效能可达140 GFLOPS。据闻该芯片于2010年开始设计,同非常类似于主要为中国军方开发的DEC Alpha 21164处理器。
据推测,SW3采用上海中芯国际65nm的CMOS制程技术。

Chinese processors power supercomputer

LONDON – China has reported the development of a supercomputer based on a domestically developed microprocessor, according to a New York Times report.
The Sunway BlueLight MPP was installed at the National Supercomputer Center in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province in eastern China, in September, the report said. The computer can perform about 1,000 trillion calculations per second – or 1-petaflop – and comprises 8,704 ShenWhei SW1600 processors, it added. The computer has sophisticated water cooling system.
The ShenWei SW1600 is a third generation processor designed by the Jinan Computing Research Lab. The 16-core chip is capable of 140-Gflops at 1.1-GHz, according to reports. It is thought to have been designed in 2010 as part of line of chips with similarities to the DEC Alpha 21164 processor developed mainly for Chinese military use.
It is speculated that the SW3 was made in Shanghai by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. in a 65-nm CMOS process technology.
