Intel Powers Network Center of Chinese State Grid

This special feature article was on Intel’s publication: Grid Today.

“The Computer Network Information Center (CNIC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Lenovo (Holdings) Co., Ltd. recently reached an agreement by which Lenovo, with the guidance of the National 863 Project, will work with CNIC to build for CAS a powerful High Performance Computing (HPC) 256- node cluster system powered by 1,024 new Itanium 2 processors. The systems will be the major equipment for the main node of State Grid, a key project in China’s national 863 Project. The research is also a key part of CAS’ supercomputing environment development effort in its tenth 5- year information computerization plan.

This is the first time that a local Chinese computer manufacturer has gotten involved in building a high performance computer for scientific research at the national level. It is an important milestone in the development of HPC in China. ”
