Progress

The advance of supercomputing in China in the aboriginal allotment of the 21st aeon has been dramatic, in that it placed 51st in June 2003, again 14th in November 2003 and 10th in June 2004 and again 5th during 2005.4 By mid-2010 it had accomplished the 2nd atom and at the end of 2010 the top spot.

To date, Chinese supercomputers accept acclimated "off the shelf" processors, e.g. Tianhe-1 uses bags of Intel and Nvidia chips, and uses the Linux operating arrangement which is accessible antecedent software. However, to abstain accessible approaching technology embargo restrictions, the Chinese are developing their own processors such as the Loongson, a MIPS blazon processor.41

According to the MIT Technology Review, the Loongson processor will ability the Dawning supercomputers by 2012, bearing a band of absolutely Chinese fabricated supercomputers that ability petaflop speeds.5
