Together with Ubuntu, the world's No. 1 super computer

When talking about the popular Linux compiling version, we have to mention the Ubuntu system. This open-source system, produced by Canonical, has successively covered traditional desktop platforms and server platforms. At present, the world's first super computer, Tianhe 2, is also "occupied" by Ubuntu, and the open-source system and super computer are once again together.

Recently, China National Defense University of Science and Technology and Canonical jointly announced that Ubuntu Openstack cloud system, Ubuntu Juju and other management tools have officially entered the world's first super computer "Tianhe 2 ".

"Tianhe 2" has 16000 computing nodes and is equipped with 32000 XeonE5 processors and 48000 XeonPhi core coprocessor computing cards, with a total of 3.12 million computing cores. In the second half of 2013, the "Tianhe 2" Phase I system was installed and delivered to the Guangzhou super computing center located in the east campus of Sun Yat-sen University.

Currently, the systems and services of Canonical have fully occupied Tianhe 2, including the Ubuntu Server operating system (customized Chinese edition Kylin Cloud Linux), Ubuntu OpenStack, and Ubuntu Juju (cloud service process engine ). At the same time, OpenStack runs on 256 nodes and will be deployed on more than 6400 nodes in the next few months.

Canonical also said that with the help of OpenStack and Juju, "Tianhe 2" can quickly deploy and manage extremely high-performance cloud environments and easily design, deploy, expand, and manage cloud work, especially for tasks that require multiple nodes and memory-intensive resources.

According to the 33.86 top supercomputer list, China's Tianhe 2 is still the world's fastest supercomputer, with a peak speed of petaflop/s, twice that of the second Titan, in a short period of time, there may not be any supercomputing that can surpass Tianhe 2.
