Nebulae
Dawning TC3600 Blade System HPC system supplied by Sugon for National Supercomputing Centre in Shenzhen (NSCS). This record preserves its explicitly dated TOP500 benchmark configuration.
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.
- 478 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.
- 1.271 1
- Rpeak PFLOP/s Theoretical peak double-precision performance of the listed configuration. This is not AI or mixed-precision throughput.
- 2.984 1
- HPL efficiency % Rmax divided by Rpeak: the share of theoretical peak the system delivered on LINPACK. Computed from the two sourced figures.
- 42.6 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.
- 2,580 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.
- 0.49 1
- Site Host or operator named by TOP500 for the installation.
- National Supercomputing Centre in Shenzhen (NSCS) 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.
- Sugon 1
- Vendor group Supplier grouped for filtering. Bull is the Eviden/Atos line; Other covers single-system suppliers.
- Other 1
- System model Hardware platform in the cited TOP500 edition.

- Processor CPU description in the cited TOP500 edition; clock and core count refer to the processor model.
- Xeon X5650 6C 2.66GHz 1
- Accelerator vendor Maker of the accelerator. None listed means TOP500 names no accelerator for the system.
- None listed 1
- Interconnect Network fabric exactly as listed in the cited TOP500 edition.
- Infiniband QDR 1
- Fabric Interconnect family derived from the listed interconnect (grouping applied by this site).
- InfiniBand 1
- Cores cores Total cores submitted to TOP500, including accelerator cores where TOP500 counts them. Not a CPU-only count and not a CUDA-core count.
- 120,640 1
- Installed Installation year reported in the TOP500 system record. Not necessarily the year of production acceptance.
- 2010 1
- Edition TOP500 edition (YYYY-MM) that supplies the ranking and benchmark data. A historic edition does not assert current operating status.
- 2020-06 1
- OS Operating system from the TOP500 system record.
