Beijing (SPX) May 04, 2004
The supercomputer set at the Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CNIC, CAS) will be able to provide long-distance calculation services based on network. The supercomputer with a sustained performance of 4 Tflops is national Lenovo DeepComp 6800, now China's fastest and 14th among the top 500 worldwide.

Sources say the supercomputer will play an important role in the weather forecast during Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. Large computer can simulate upcoming weather in forecast. Under the same condition, the supercomputer is 300 times more efficient in numerical simulation than Pentium 4 (4.2 G) computer, and 30 times than a computer with a sustained performance of one Tflops.

Presently, the Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CNIC, CAS) has four supercomputers at 6.4 TFLops, 9.6 Tflops, 11.70 Tflops and 5 Tflops respectively.

With multiple programming languages and engineering application software, the computers form a powerful super calculation environment and provide super calculation service through CSTNet. Now calculation service of more then tens of million CPU hours has been provided to over 100 customers.
