On October 31, China's National Supercomputing Center in Zhengzhou successfully passed the inspection and acceptance by experts organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST).
This is the seventh national supercomputing center in China, and the first national supercomputing center approved for construction after the MOST issued the certification rules.
The center is equipped with a new generation of high-performance computers with a peak computing capacity of 100PFlops, 100PB of storage capacity, and 200Gb/s of the network system bandwidth.
It adopts the green and energy-saving immersion phase-change liquid cooling technology, with a PUE value of less than 1.04.
It has been appraised by China's TOP100 high-performance computer performance expert group that the actual sustained performance of the host system is among the best in the world.
The first batch of the National Supercomputing Center in Zhengzhou has deployed a number of key applications such as crop molecular design breeding, accurate high-performance weather forecasting, and anti-fatigue digital manufacturing of key components.
On April 19, 2019, the MOST responded to the letter approving the preparation of the National Supercomputing Zhengzhou Center in Henan Province.
On July 3, 2019, Henan Province specified Zhengzhou University as the main construction subject, undertaking construction, management, operation, and maintenance services.
