Domestic petaflop made ​​important progress in high-performance computer and grid service environment research

November 2, 2010, the National 863 Program Office of the field of information the major results of the project of high-performance computers and the grid service environment "conference held in Beijing. Party secretary of Science and Technology Li Xueyong comrades and the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Chinese Academy of Sciences relevant leaders attended the meeting. The well-known experts in the field of information technology in China Jin Yilian academicians of the convening of the conference to give a strong support and attend the meeting. 863 major projects researchers attended the meeting.

The conference showcases the "Eleventh Five-Year" period of the significant progress made in petascale high-performance computers, the grid service environment, high performance computing and grid. Significant overall project of the Expert Team on behalf of the major projects of Professor Qian Depei released a number of significant achievements, including: 4700000000000000 times per second Tianhe high-performance computer systems successfully developed; relying on China National Grid industrial simulation and optimization application Community officially opened; The national grid software CNGrid the GOS 4.0 version of the official release. Tianhe No. 1 peak performance of 47 trillion times per second, Linpack performance of 250 trillion times per second, is a world leader. China National Grid industrial simulation optimization community has been applied in a large aircraft, automotive industry, highly recognized. The grid software CNGrid GOS 4.0 to support the operation of the China National Grid and application development, has an important place in the similar software in the world. The conference also shows China's State Grid service environment in aircraft design, the important results achieved in the field of railway transport, weather forecasting, drug development, water conservancy information, astrophysical research applications.

Xueyong secretary spoke highly of the achievements of major projects, and on behalf of the Ministry of Science and Technology expressed warm congratulations and heartfelt thanks to all those involved in research and technology. He pointed out that insist on starting from the application requirements, and adhere to a comprehensive and balanced development of the machine, the environment and applications, formed to support all types of information technology applications and enterprise innovation, new infrastructure is key to the success of major projects. Adhere to the "research" in close cooperation, give play to their respective advantages, innovative enterprises as the mainstay in line with national development strategies, in line with the Ministry of Science and Technology to establish the idea of ​​enterprise technology innovation strategic alliance. He said the high-performance computing is the cutting-edge technology of strategic importance, the Ministry of Science and Technology will continue to support research in this area. Scientific and technical personnel the Secretary Li hopes to engage in high-performance computing research more deeply understand and implement the spirit of the seventh session of the Fifth Plenary Session, so that high-performance computing to support cloud computing, triple play, and things such as the emerging IT development, play a more a large role.

Party secretary of Science and Technology Li Xueyong

High-performance computer is the commanding heights of the high-tech strategy. Developed with independent intellectual property rights in China, high-performance computers to enhance China's comprehensive national strength has important strategic significance.Established domestic high-performance computer-based China National Grid service environment will strongly enhance our high-performance computing resource capabilities and service levels for our country's scientific and engineering research, national construction and development of modern service industry to provide efficient computing and processing platform. The results show the conference indicates that China has made important progress in high-performance computer grid service environment field, reached the international advanced level.
