( HPCwire first reported on this system in 2017. While Sunway TaihuLight is located in Wuxi, China (close to its namesake Lake Taihu), OceanLight is sited in the port city of Qingdao, of strategic significance to China, opening onto ChinaвЂ™s near-seas region. The new Sunway machine, called OceanLight, is the successor to TaihuLight. Multiple sources have affirmed to HPCwire the core details presented by Kahaner, including the location of the systems and their reported Linpack scores, and there are multiple peer-reviewed papers corroborating much of the information, particularly in regards to the new exascale Sunway system. Kahaner claimed there are two exascale (> 1 exaflops High Performance Linpack) systems running in China today, and reported there is a third, delayed, system. So I think the information that I have is accurate,вЂќ Kahaner offered as an opening. But we have a couple of people working with us. вЂњFull disclosure, I havenвЂ™t been to China this year because of COVID. 15, list author and co-founder Jack Dongarra indicated he was aware of some very impressive results, but withheld comment when asked directly if he had seen the new Sunway вЂњOceanLightвЂќ system.ДЄn invited guest at the SC21 Top500 BOF вЂ“ David Kahaner, HPC expert and founder of the Asian Technology Information Program (ATIP) вЂ“ gave a far more extensive account during the BoF on Tuesday night. Asked about these systems during the Top500 media briefing on Monday, Nov. Since 1987 - Covering the Fastest Computers in the World and the People Who Run ThemДetails about two previously rumored Chinese exascale systems came to light during last weekвЂ™s SC21 proceedings.
