Supercomputing: a powerful engine for scientific and technological innovation in mainland China
Under the guidance of the mainland's "14th Five-Year Plan", the future industry incubation and acceleration plan has attracted much attention, and supercomputing, as one of the strategic emerging industries, plays an important role in scientific and technological innovation.
In the era of artificial intelligence, supercomputing plays a central supporting role. It is like a powerful engine, providing endless power for the development of artificial intelligence. Compared with ordinary computers, supercomputers have powerful data storage capacity and fast data processing speed, far exceeding ordinary computers. They are capable of processing a large amount of data and performing high-speed calculations, and are mostly used in cutting-edge technology research and national high-tech fields.
The mainland has made great progress in the field of supercomputing, and has successively built six national supercomputing centers in Tianjin, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, providing a solid foundation for scientific and technological innovation.
Among them, "Tianhe-2" and "Sunway Taihu Light" represent the highest level of supercomputers in the mainland, and "Sunway Taihu Light" dominates the global supercomputer list with its powerful computing power, and won the "Gordon Bell Prize".
It has ranked first in the world's top 500 supercomputers for many years, demonstrating the strong strength of the mainland in the field of supercomputing.
Supercomputing has important applications in many fields, providing strong support for scientific research, engineering design, astronomy, aerospace, geological survey, medical and health applications.
Supercomputing not only plays a role in the field of scientific research, but also plays an important supporting role in the economic and social fields, becoming the core driving force for the high-quality economic and social development of the mainland, and providing strong support for the high-quality economic and social development of the mainland.
According to the 2023 White Paper on the Development of Intelligent Computing Industry, by 2025, the scale of the core computing power industry in mainland China will exceed 4.4 trillion yuan, and the scale of related industries will reach 24 trillion yuan, showing the huge potential of supercomputing in the era of digital economy.
Supercomputing has become an important engine for scientific and technological innovation and the development of the digital economy in mainland China, and will continue to play a greater role in the future to help achieve the goal of high-quality economic and social development
