China has presented a paper at the International Solid State Circuits Conference detailing its next major supercomputer with a capacity of 300 PFLOPS. The system is about 500 PFLOP more powerful than the Tianhe-1A that references in this area today (see "The first supercomputer in the world is Chinese).
Made by Dawning who released Nebulae, the second fastest supercomputer in the world as ranked by June 2010, the new model will carry 3000-3B Godson processors. So a break with the deep architectural Tianhe-1A based on Intel and NVIDIA. Planned for the summer, there is a strong message to China that wants to show she does not need American technology.
We were talking about the Godson-3 in 2008 in our topical "Godson-3: 8 cores for the CPU and x86 Chinese." They are about to become reality and their technical characteristics are very similar to what had been announced. The Godson-3B will be engraved in 65nm factories of STMicroelectronics.
It will include eight cores will be clocked at 1.05 GHz and offer computing power of 128 GFLOPS. It uses a 64-bit MIPS architecture has 200 additional instructions for compatibility with x86 software. This code acts as an emulator. The processor also has a unit vector calculations. China also said preparing its next generation processor.
The Godson-3C will be available within two years. They will be engraved in 28 nm and will have 16 cores running at 2GHz for a computing power of 512 GFLOPS.
