  • The Evolution of Cloud Computing Over the Past Few Years Is Potentially One of the Major Advances in the History of Computing
    INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT, TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION AND APPLICATION EVOLUTION: THE RISE OF CHINA’S EMERGING COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE Jiang Yu, Institute of Policy and Management, Chinese Academy of Sciences No. 15, Zhonguancun Beiyitiao, Beijing, 100190, P.R. China Email: [email protected], Telephone: 0086 10 59358509 Yue Zhang, Institute of Policy and Management, Chinese Academy of Sciences No. 15, Zhonguancun Beiyitiao, Beijing, 100190, P.R. China Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper tries to explore the interaction of institutional arrangement, technological innovation and application evolution underlying the impressive growth of China’s computing infrastructure. Drawing upon the actor-network theory, we construct a framework to explain how the elements identified forge the evolution of the sector. Our study hopes to provide the analytical lens and explanatory power to probe this growth process under the emerging contexts. We conduct an in-depth case study on the growth of China’s emerging computing infrastructure to justify the framework. Chinese government has been deeply involved in the development of the computing infrastructures including the systems of supercomputing and cloud computing to build a nationwide computing backbone network. In the resent emerging of cloud computing, the networks which involved in much more diversified actors with heterogeneous interests are shaping under a more open setting. However, the facility-oriented strategies by the dominant state-owned players still exert great challenge to the cloud computing development which needs sustainable benefits generated from the infrastructure. Our paper tries to provide a systematic understanding on the growth of China’s emerging computing infrastructure and offer some important insights to the emerging industries in other large emerging countries.

  • IBM US Nuke-Lab Beast 'Sequoia' Is Top of the Flops (Petaflops, That Is) | Insidehpc.Com
    Advertisement insideHPC Skip to content Latest News HPC Hardware Software Tools Events inside-BigData Search Rock Stars of HPC Videos inside-Startups HPC Jobs IBM US Nuke-lab Beast ‘Sequoia’ is Top of the Flops (Petaflops, that is) 06.18.2012 Mi piace By Timothy Prickett Morgan • Get more from this author For the second time in the past two years, a new supercomputer has taken the top ranking in the Top 500 list of supercomputers – and it does not use a hybrid CPU-GPU architecture. But the question everyone will be asking at the International Super Computing conference in Hamburg, Germany today is whether this is the last hurrah for such monolithic parallel machines and whether the move toward hybrid machines where GPUs or other kinds of coprocessors do most of the work is inevitable. No one can predict the future, of course, even if they happen to be Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and even if they happen to have just fired up IBM’s “Sequoia” BlueGene/Q beast, which has been put through the Linpack benchmark paces, delivering 16.32 petaflops of sustained performance running across the 1.57 million PowerPC cores inside the box. Sequoia has a peak theoretical performance of 20.1 petaflops, so 81.1 per cent of the possible clocks in the box that could do work running Linpack did so when the benchmark test was done. LLNL was where the original BlueGene/L super was commercialized, so that particular Department of Energy nuke lab knows how to tune the massively parallel Power machine better than anyone on the planet, meaning the efficiency is not a surprise.

There are currently five National Supercomputing Centers in China, which are established in Tianjin, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Jinan, and Chang-Sha. These cities were selected as pilot ones for conducting an experiment on the development of the cloud computing services market. The directions of evolutionary and innovative development of exaflops supercomputers are highlighted in Pacific region. The evolutionary approach is the simplest and allows you to quickly get the result, but the created supercomputer of this type will be effective only when solving a narrow class of problems and have low energy efficiency. An innovative approach involves basic research and the development of innovative technologies, which is much more complicated and requires more time. Innovative technologies for the development of exaflops supercomputers, due to the stringent requirements of energy efficiency and productivity efficiency, have much in common with technologies for creating highly efficient on-board and embedded systems.

  • Chinese Supercomputer Emerges at Head of Latest Top500 List
    From SIAM News, Volume 43, Number 10, December 2010 Chinese Supercomputer Emerges at Head of Latest Top500 List From time to time, announcement of the top 500 supercomputers in the world, a highlight of the annual Supercomputing conference, contains an element of drama. Release of the latest list at SC 2010 (New Orleans, November 13–19) is such an instance. Of the top five computers on the list, two are from China, two are from the U.S., and one is from Japan. Number 1, as predicted with near certainty two weeks in advance of the official announcement in an article in The New York Times, is the Tianhe-1A, located at the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin, China. With sustained performance of 2.57 petaflop/s (46% faster than the Jaguar at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the previous number 1 system), the Tianhe-1A has captured the attention of those who use, analyze, create, and fund supercomputers. Making the prediction was Jack Dongarra, director of the Innovative Computing Laboratory at the University of Tennessee. The Tianhe “blows away the existing No. 1 machine,” he told the Times reporter. “It is unlikely that we will see a system that is faster soon.” At the beginning of November, with the official release of the list still two weeks away, Dongarra, who also has an appointment at Oak Ridge National Lab and the University of Manchester and has been the driving force behind the twice yearly Top500 list since its 1993 founding, spoke to SIAM News by phone about the Chinese supercomputer and its implications.
