Chinese scientists train AI model with 174 trillion of parameters.

Chinese scientists say a new supercomputer is so fast it has successfully run an artificial intelligence model as sophisticated as a human brain. The achievement puts the Newest Generation Sunway supercomputer on par with Frontier, the latest machine built by the US Department of Energy, which earlier this month was named the world’s most powerful. The Chinese team used the...

Research team says latest Sunway machine is on a par with the US Frontier, named as the world’s most powerful just weeks earlier. Its speed has made it possible to train an artificial intelligence program with 174 trillion parameters, rivalling the synapses in the human brain.

The U.S. has reclaimed the coveted speed crown in computing, marking a watershed moment for the technology that is used in science, medicine, and other sectors. But how did China fare in the rankings?

The United States is on top of the supercomputing world in the Top500 ranking of the most powerful systems..

In the Top500 ranking of the most powerful systems, the United States stands at the top of the supercomputing world. Last year's winner, Japan's ARM A64X Fugaku system, was defeated by the Frontier system from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), which ran on AMD EPYC CPUs. The ORNL in Tennessee is still putting it together and testing it, but the US Air Force and Department of Energy will eventually run it. Frontier, which was powered by HPE's Cray EX platform, was also the most...

For several years, some in the HPC community have suspected China of sandbagging the world on its true supercomputing capabilities. Those suspicions may [...]
