National Supercomputing Center in Zhengzhou Passes Official Appraisal

河南省首个国家级重大科研基础设施

国家超算郑州中心通过验收

 

Recently, the National Supercomputing Center in Zhengzhou successfully passed the official appraisal carried out by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology and incorporated into the management system for national supercomputing centers, said Henan Provincial Department of Science and Technology on November 23. As the 7th national supercomputing center in China (the others are in the cities of Tianjin, Changsha, Shenzhen, Jinan, Guangzhou and Wuxi), it is the first major science and research infrastructure facility at the national level in Henan.

11月23日，记者从省科技厅获悉，科技部近日印发《关于国家超级计算郑州中心通过验收的函》，批复同意国家超级计算郑州中心通过验收并纳入国家超级计算中心序列管理。郑州中心正式成为继天津、长沙、深圳、济南、广州、无锡之后全国第7家国家超级计算中心，也是我省首个国家级重大科研基础设施。

Supercomputing capability is not only a key indicator for a country's core competitiveness in science and technology, but also for its comprehensive national strength. Therefore, the national supercomputing centers in China with supercomputer as the core instrument is not only a national information infrastructure facility of strategic importance, but also a strategic platform for sci & tech innovation. The National Supercomputing Center in Zhengzhou has been accepted and put into operation, which is of great significance to promoting Henan's scientific and technological innovation, boosting the province's industrial transformation and upgrading, leading and supporting its high-quality economic development.

超级计算能力是衡量一个国家科技核心竞争力和综合国力的重要标志，以超级计算机为核心工具的国家超级计算中心是国家战略性信息基础设施和科技创新战略平台。国家超级计算郑州中心（以下简称“超算中心”）通过验收并投入运营，对促进全省科技创新、推动产业转型升级、引领和支撑经济高质量发展具有重要意义。

 

Equipped with the latest high-performance computers made by Sugon, the host system has been found to be at the forefront of international technology in terms of continuous performance, with a theoretical peak performance of 100Pflops (1Pflops is equal to 1 thousand trillion floating-point operations per second) and a memory capacity of 100PB. In the future, committed to key national strategies and regional economic and social development, the National Supercomputing Center in Zhengzhou will develop applications in the fields of digital economy, social management, precision medicine, biological breeding, environmental protection, high-end equipment, artificial intelligence, land and resources management, etc.

据了解，该中心配备了技术先进、自主可控的中科曙光新一代高性能计算机，峰值计算能力100Pflops（1Pflops等于每秒一千万亿次的浮点运算），存储容量100PB，主机系统实测持续计算性能居国际同期前列。未来，超算中心将面向国家重大战略需求和区域经济社会发展需要，围绕数字经济、社会管理、精准医学、生物育种、环境治理、高端装备、人工智能、国土资源管理等方面开展一批重点特色应用。（中文来源/河南日报 翻译/赵汉青 审校/张玉红）
