What it runs and how to get time

From the operator
Used for What the operator says the system is used for: science domains, missions or workloads. Taken from the operator, its funder or the system vendor, not from TOP500.
Climate and earth system modelling, materials and battery chemistry, drug screening, quantum circuit simulation, AI model training and inference, industrial simulation 3
How to get time How researchers or customers get time on the system, naming the allocation programme where the operator states one.
Online resource applications through the centre's portal; industry access via a compute service platform with Parallel Technology and compute vouchers for businesses 3
Cooling Cooling design stated by the operator or supplier.
100% liquid cooling across the whole system 4
Facility Building, data centre or campus that houses the system, as described by the operator.

Benchmark and hardware

Source per value
Rank Position in the TOP500 edition named in the Edition column. Historic systems keep the rank of the edition where they last appeared.
1 1
Rmax PFLOP/s Measured double-precision LINPACK (HPL) performance of the listed configuration. Older TFLOP/s and GFLOP/s figures are converted to PFLOP/s.
2,198.4 1
Rpeak PFLOP/s Theoretical peak double-precision performance of the listed configuration. This is not AI or mixed-precision throughput.
2,735.82 1
HPL efficiency % Rmax divided by Rpeak: the share of theoretical peak the system delivered on LINPACK. Computed from the two sourced figures.
80.4 1
Power kW Power reported for the benchmark run. Measurement boundaries vary by site; this is not facility power, TDP or cooling capacity. Empty when the system does not report it.
42,220 1
Efficiency GFLOP/s per W Rmax per watt of reported benchmark power, computed from the two sourced figures (GFLOP/s per W). Empty when power is not reported.
52.07 1
Site Host or operator named by TOP500 for the installation.
National Supercomputing Centre in Shenzhen (NSCS) 1
Country Country or region reported by TOP500 for the site.
China 1
Region World region of the installation country (grouping applied by this site).
Asia-Pacific 1
Vendor Manufacturer or system supplier exactly as submitted to TOP500.
