China's supercomputer LineShine ranks first in processing speed worldwide
At the International Supercomputing Conference held in Germany, the TOP500 list placed China-developed LineShine supercomputer first with a speed of 2,198 exaflops per second.
The TOP500 list, ranking supercomputers by processing speed, was released at the International Supercomputing Conference in Hamburg, Germany. According to the list, the "LineShine" supercomputer developed by China achieved the title of the world's fastest computer with a processing speed of 2,198 exaflops per second.
With this performance, equivalent to a capacity of 2.2 quintillion operations, LineShine surpassed supercomputers developed by the United States and other countries that previously held the top spot. Its most notable feature is that it operates with an architecture entirely composed of central processing units (CPUs) instead of graphics processing units (GPUs). This architecture marks the first instance of achieving exascale performance.
Lead designer of the supercomputer, Lu Yutong, stated in a speech at the conference that LineShine was created by integrating AI-assisted high-speed memory processor circuits with a special connection technology. Lu emphasized that the computer was built entirely with domestically produced processors.
Highlighting that LineShine was designed not only for traditional scientific simulations but also for solving AI applications, Lu noted the device is used for a wide range of tasks, including climate modeling, engineering calculations, drug discovery, neuroscience research, and AI work.
In the TOP500 list, second place went to "El Capitan," developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, USA. It was followed by "Frontier" and "Aurora," products of national laboratories in Tennessee and Illinois. Germany-developed "Jupiter" secured the fifth spot.
