12月6日，2023年超算创新应用大会在广州召开，国家超算广州中心正式发布了中心的新一代国产超级计算系统——“天河星逸”。同时，粤港澳超算应用互联网建设启动。
A new-generation supercomputing system "Tianhe Xingyi" was unveiled on Wednesday to boast greater capabilities in multiple areas, from computing power to storage to application.
The National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou unveiled the system during a supercomputing innovation and application conference in Guangzhou that attracted more than 400 representatives from scientific and technological institutions to discuss topics such as the integration of supercomputing, AI, big data and biochemicals.
多方面较“天河二号”实现倍增
“天河星逸”系统以应用为中心，采用国产先进计算架构、高性能多核处理器、高速互连网络、大规模存储等关键技术构建，在通用CPU计算能力、网络能力、存储能力以及应用服务能力等多方面较“天河二号”实现倍增。
“天河星逸”支持高性能计算、AI大模型训练以及大数据分析各类应用模式，将进一步提升广州超算中心的多领域服务能力。
According to Lu Yutong, director of the center, the new computer has outperformed Tianhe-2, one of the fastest supercomputers in the world, in capacities such as CPU computing, network, storage and application.
Tianhe Xingyi's operation is expected to meet the rising computing demands in the fields of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence (AI) big model training and big data analysis, according to the center.
全球最具应用影响力
超算中心五强
“天河二号”研制工程总设计师、国防科技大学廖湘科院士表示，“天河二号”于2013年研制成功，并连续6次夺得TOP500世界超算冠军，是我国超算系统研制进入世界领先行列的重要标志，但国产超算应用一直是我国超算发展面临的一大挑战。在广东省政府、广州市政府和中山大学的支持下，国家超算广州中心组建一流人才团队，开发了一系列面向领域的超算应用平台，自主研发了“星光”国产多模式超算融合应用支撑平台，构建起国产超算系统与各领域超算应用的桥梁，支持各行各业取得了显著的应用实效，有力拓展了国产超算应用生态。
国家超算广州中心主任卢宇彤介绍，广州超算不断拓展超算应用领域，自主研发核心应用技术，打造面向领域的应用服务平台，使国家超算广州中心用户数由最初的300多个呈指数级增长至30多万个，遍布全国各省市地区，自主研发的星光超算应用支撑平台荣获广东省科技进步特等奖。为了进一步支撑粤港澳大国际科技创新中心建设，中心在粤港澳大湾区建设了15个分中心并成立了粤港澳超算联盟，形成了立足湾区、服务全国、影响世界的应用格局。
十年前，“天河二号”落户广州，成为当时全球最快超级计算机。目前，国家超算广州中心已经成为全球用户数量最多、应用范围最广的超算中心之一，是我国唯一入选全球最具应用影响力超算中心五强的超算中心。
The Tianhe II supercomputer, launched early in 2013 at the Guangzhou-headquartered supercomputing center, has provided application services for more than 300,000 users across the country.
"The new-generation supercomputing system will provide strong high-end computing support for cutting-edge scientific and technological breakthroughs, strategic engineering construction, and industrial upgrading and transformation," said Lu.
The system will enhance Guangzhou's core scientific and technological innovation capabilities, according to Lu.
The director said the supercomputing center has established 15 subbranches across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and formed a supercomputing alliance over the past few years.
启动粤港澳超算应用互联网建设
会上，国家超算广州中心联合广东联通、中移互联网、鹏城实验室等14家单位正式启动粤港澳超算应用互联网建设，共同打造国家级科技创新平台，支撑国家算力网络建设战略，为广东省和大湾区的高质量发展提供高质量算力、算网服务，为湾区开启算力经济时代的世纪工程打下坚实基础。
Construction of a supercomputing application network in the GBA was also launched on Wednesday to promote the integration of computing power, aggregate computing resources, and high-speed network and supercomputing application resources.
The application network is a project between the Guangzhou-based supercomputing center and 14 other scientific and technological institutions in the GBA, including the Fok Ying Tung Research Institute of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Macao Chinese Innovation and Technology Development Promotion Association.
The network will create a national-level scientific and technological innovation platform, supporting the national computing network construction strategy and providing high-quality computing power and network services for the high-quality development of Guangdong and the GBA.
