Applications of military supercomputers

Supercomputer is a type of computer with the most powerful functions, fastest computing speed and largest storage capacity. It is mostly used in national high-tech fields and cutting-edge technology research. It is an important factor in national scientific and technological development level and comprehensive national strength. logo. With the rapid development of supercomputer computing speed, it is also increasingly used in industry, scientific research and academic fields. At this stage, our country has 22 supercomputers (19 in mainland China, 1 in Hong Kong, and 2 in Taiwan), ranking fifth in the world. It leads the world in terms of ownership and computing speed, but in terms of the application of supercomputers In terms of fields, there is still a big gap between us and developed countries such as the United States and Germany. How to use supercomputers to serve our industry, scientific research and academic fields has become an important topic for our future research and development. Supercomputer is the embodiment of a country's scientific research strength, which is of great significance to national security, economic and social development. The development of supercomputers and their applications in our country has provided a solid foundation and guarantee for our country to become a technological power. As an element of high-tech development, supercomputers have long become a competitive tool for the economy and national defense of countries around the world. After decades of unremitting efforts by our country's scientific and technological workers, our country's high-performance computer research and development level has improved significantly, becoming the third largest high-performance computer development and production country after the United States and Japan. The National 863 Software Professional Incubator (Kunming) base actively strengthens cooperation with the supercomputing core technology and scientist team led by Dr. Chen Shiqing, an academician of the National Academy of Engineering, an academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the father of the world's super turbine blade computer, and plans to introduce its Supercomputers with world-leading technology and solutions in related industries with completely independent intellectual property rights use the powerful scientific computing, transaction processing and information service capabilities of supercomputers, and use their powerful engines or platforms to provide information services to integrate resources and collaborate. Assignment to solve pollution remediation needs for complex calculations such as algorithms, equations, modeling, and simulation. At the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States, the Blue Gene/L designed by IBM returned to its highest point after recording a peak computing speed of 136.8 megabytes per second during testing. IBM says that during a complete process, the system should have twice the power, with a peak performance of more than 360 teraflops. Researchers from Germany and the United States publish a list of the 500 most powerful computers twice a year. The most recent list appeared at the International Supercomputing Conference in Heidelberg, Germany. These high-end computers are made from exotic manufacturing methods rather than from standard components. Despite this, computers can reach extremely high speeds. Over the past two years, most of the computers near the top 500 list have consisted of ordinary computer hard drives coupled with fancy software. But things are different now, and some systems are starting to determine these rankings. For example, the current Champion Blue Gene/L is a specially designed system that incorporates an unprecedented 65,536 personal processors and an upgradeable template design. This system is not only more powerful than traditional systems but also more compact to avoid power shortages. The blue gene machine called BGW designed by IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center is ranked second on this 500 list, which further illustrates the correctness of this design concept. This system has the same modular design as the Blue Gene/L, except it has a smaller processor and can only record 91.2 teraflops of peak processing power. Today, no computer built in 1997 is capable of making the Top 500 list. The battle for high-speed computing supremacy illustrates the difference between traditional computer processors and superprocessors. The Japanese government recently announced plans to sponsor the development of a computer with processing speeds of up to 1,000 teraflops- or petaflops, which it hopes will be available by 2010.
