Dawning Nebula "Application" leading China cloud computing market

In the 35 session of China supercomputer TOP500 list, Shuguang company not only let the industry for one earthquake, let the world as one of the earthquake, the Shuguang Nebula with its peak theoretical computing power 2.98PFLOP/S ranked second in the world, after "Jaguar (Jaguar)", This is the highest ranking of Chinese supercomputers in the TOP500 list. This not only refreshes the highest speed of China's high-performance computer, but also means that China's high-performance computer industry has realized the independent industrialization of billions of times computing technology.

It is reported that the Shuguang Nebula system has been successfully used in Shuguang company's national layout of the cloud computing center, to "China speed" to promote China's cloud computing development process, accelerate the Chinese cloud computing into the application era.

With the dawning TC3600 blade as the core high configuration Nebula Achievement "China speed"

June 2010, after 10 trillion times and trillions of the test of supercomputing capacity, China's first computer-tested super Computer Shuguang Nebula High-performance system was released officially, this is the history of China's supercomputer memorable historic moment. CAS Academician Guojie The nebula system: "From each blade to the floating point accelerator card, as well as the entire software system, is the result of independent innovation, the Nebula System assembly density has surpassed any one of the world's high-performance computer." ”

It is reported that the core components of the nebula system is the dawn of the company's independent research and development of the latest generation of Blade server Shuguang TC3600, but also the world's first to meet the SSI Specification Blade Server System.

Dawn TC3600 Blade Server with High-performance Computing, web infrastructure, virtualization into the main application goals, incorporating a number of advanced design concepts and technical features, is the industry's leading latest generation of compliant with the open standard Blade server products, it has high-performance, high-density, scalable, on-demand configuration, Flexible design features such as the user can meet the diverse and dynamic application needs, at the same time it also has the enterprise-class product of the RAS characteristics, to meet the government, telecommunications, finance, education, the Internet and other key users needs.

In terms of computing power, the nebula system peaks 300 trillion times per second cloud system Peak 3000 trillion times per second (3PFlops), measured linpack value of 1271 trillion times per second (1.271PFlops), is China's first, The world's third-measured double-precision floating-point computation is a supercomputer that is billions of millions of times. Compared to the "Jaguar", which uses 224,162 processor cores and IBM "Roadrunner" 122,400 processor cores, the second "nebula" uses only 120,640 processor cores. At the same time, the Nebula supercomputer is currently the most "green" supercomputer, its unit energy consumption provides a performance of 498 million times/watts.

As technicians in High-performance computing think: "Although the CPU is the core of the computer, but not simply to heap a large number of CPUs, you can build a supercomputer, which requires architectural design, software design, and many other technologies." "And the Nebula supercomputer uses the HPP architecture which is designed by itself, the processor is X5650, and the NVIDIATESLAC2050GPU is used as the coprocessor, which is composed of 4,640 units of calculation."

It uses highly efficient heterogeneous collaborative computing technology, comprising 9280 general-purpose CPUs and 4640 dedicated GPGPU. The computing network adopts unidirectional 40GbpsQDRInfiniband technology, and the core storage adopts the Parastor high speed I/O system which is designed independently. At the same time, it includes the self-developed Qdrib high-speed switching module (HSSM), which breaks through the high-speed signal transmission technology, and is the core part of the system. The original IoE design greatly improves the scalability of the system.

Application-oriented Dawning nebula leads China cloud Computing

No matter which industry, technology upgrading is for practical use, the real service market is the key, this point in the field of cloud computing is no doubt.

Lichun, president of Shuguang Company, said: "The supercomputer has the concept of a star group, unlike the previous cluster, each node of the STAR Group is strong, so that together like a brilliant ball of light." In addition, cloud computing is now a hot concept, and supercomputers are an important part of cloud computing, and the nebula will play a key role in the cloud computing hub after it is put into operation. ”

And from the current state, the nebula provides more services, and its future cloud computing center positioning will also make its application far more than the previous supercomputer. It is reported that the Nebula High-performance computer system has been installed in the National Supercomputing Shenzhen Center, for China's South China, Hong Kong and Macao and even the national users to provide computing services and information services. Shenzhen's leaders said: "Shenzhen is increasing high-tech investment, there are already a large number of customers in line waiting to use the nebula." ”

The Beijing Computing Center is the first cloud platform for Industrial computing, which provides the resources and technical support services with high performance computing and data storage as the core for the balanced development of Beijing's regional economy. It has been working closely with Shuguang company, its "industrial cloud" is the dawning of the company's most new generation of products technology, which has the Nebula High-performance system "four low" innovative technology, which to some extent, accelerated the Chinese industry computing users and scientific computing users to enhance innovation technology and competitive advantage.

As a high performance computer advocates, Shuguang company has been market-oriented, adhere to the needs of customers from the continuous technological innovation, which is the meaning of the Dawn Nebula. As the first super computer system designed for the future cloud computing environment, the Shuguang Nebula emphasizes the balanced design of the system and the ability of resource dynamic dispatch, which will lead the industry in the future with its super application ability, and become the main force of the new Generation Super Cloud computing center.
