The initial phase of the National Supercomputing Shenzhen Center stands out as one of the country's premier supercomputing hubs, offering a wide array of computing resources and high resource utilization efficiency. Having served the nation and Southeast Asia for over a decade, it has supported more than 30,000 user teams, executed over a million computing tasks, totaling 1.5 billion core hours of computation.
The forthcoming second phase of the supercomputer project aims to harness the center's resource advantages to construct a world-class supercomputing system.
In May 2023, the "Shenzhen Supercomputer Phase II Building Design Plan" secured Guangming District's Top 10 High-Aesthetic Design Award. The design of the three primary structures seamlessly integrates into the mountainous landscape, blending with the natural environment to establish a "green intelligence" cluster. Crafted with individual components arranged in adaptable shapes, the unique "energy core" design imparts a sense of suspended architecture, showcasing the futuristic essence of technological edifices.
The expansive second phase of the supercomputing project involves civil engineering and machine facility endeavors. It primarily centers on erecting four major computing subsystems to deliver diverse services. The machinery segment has been greenlit, with intentions to finalize mainframe system development by year-end.
Encompassing an area of 46,000 square meters, the civil engineering aspect boasts a total construction expanse of 116,800 square meters, including research buildings vital for operations, set for completion by 2025.
Situated within Guangming Science City's array of large scientific instruments, the second phase of the supercomputing initiative holds pivotal significance as an innovative infrastructure in Shenzhen. It plays a vital role across various sectors, bolstering research, technological advancements, and industrial applications.
