中國正在開發(fā)一部采用其自有微處理器的超級計算機(jī)。據(jù)報導(dǎo)，這部名為 BlueLight MPP 的超級計算機(jī)，已于今年9月安裝在山東省濟(jì)南濟(jì)南的國家超級計算機(jī)中心。該計算機(jī)執(zhí)行效能可達(dá)每秒1,000兆次──或1 petaflop──內(nèi)部采用了8,704 個 ShenWhei SW1600 處理器。這部超級計算機(jī)還具備先進(jìn)的水冷系統(tǒng)。
ShenWei SW1600濟(jì)南運(yùn)算實(shí)驗(yàn)室所設(shè)計的第三代處理器。這個16核心的芯片在1.1GHz速度時效能可達(dá)140 GFLOPS。據(jù)聞該芯片于2010年開始設(shè)計，同非常類似于主要為中國軍方開發(fā)的DEC Alpha 21164處理器。
據(jù)推測，SW3采用上海中芯國際65nm的CMOS制程技術(shù)。

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.
