Supercomputing in China

With the advent of supercomputers over the last few decades, China has emerged as a global leader in supercomputering, achieving significant milestones in both the quantity and performance of its high-performance computing (HPC) systems. From the early 2000s, China rapidly ascended the TOP500 rankings, with notable achievements such as the Tianhe-1A securing the top position in 2010[1] and the Sunway TaihuLight leading in 2016[2].
By 2018, China had the highest number of supercomputers listed on the TOP500, reflecting its commitment to advancing computational capabilities across various sectors, including scientific research, industrial applications, and national defense.[3] However, this progress has been met with challenges, notably from U.S. sanctions aimed at curbing China's access to advanced computing technologies.[4] Since 2019, after the U.S. began levying sanctions on several Chinese companies involved with supercomputing, public information on the state of supercomputing in China had become less available.[5]
China's supercomputing infrastructure is supported by a network of national centers located in cities like Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenzhen, Changsha, Jinan, Guangzhou, Wuxi, etc. These centers not only bolster the nation's scientific and technological endeavors but may also play a pivotal role in its strategic objectives, including military modernization and the pursuit of technological sovereignty.[6]
History
The origins of these centers go back to the 1980s,[7] when the State Planning Commission, the State Science and Technology Commission and the World Bank jointly launched a project to develop networking and supercomputer facilities in China. In addition to network facilities, the project included three supercomputer centers.[8] The progress of supercomputing in China has been rapid; the country's most powerful supercomputer placed 43rd in November 2002 (DeepComp 1800[9]), 11th by November 2003 (DeepComp 6800[10]), 10th by June 2004 (Dawning 4000A[11]), and by November 2010 (Tianhe-1A[12]) held top spot. China would go on to fall behind Japan in June 2011 until June 2013 when the country's most powerful supercomputer once again clocked in as the world record.[13]
According to the MIT Technology Review, the Loongson processor would power the Dawning supercomputers by 2012, producing a line of totally Chinese-made supercomputers that reach petaflop speeds.[14]
Prior to the Sunway TaihuLight, Chinese supercomputers have used "off the shelf" processors, e.g. Tianhe-I uses thousands of Intel and Nvidia chips, and uses the Linux operating system which is open-source software. However, to avoid possible future technology embargo restrictions, the Chinese are developing their own processors such as the Loongson, a MIPS type processor.[15][13]
In November 2015, China increased its number of supercomputers on the TOP500 list to 109, up 196% from 37 just six months earlier. This expansion reflected growing investment in domestic innovation, with observers noting that “the Chinese government and companies want to become the creators and not just producer of products that are being designed elsewhere".[16]
In 2016, China’s Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer became the world’s fastest, achieving a peak performance of 93 petaflops per second. It was nearly three times faster than the next most powerful machine, Tianhe-2, and used over 10 million processor cores designed and manufactured in China. That year also marked the first time China surpassed the United States in total installed supercomputing capacity.[17] China led in the number of systems on the TOP500 list, with 167 supercomputers compared to 165 from the United States.[18]
In 2018, China extended its lead in the number of supercomputers on the TOP500 list, with 206 systems compared to 124 from the United States. While the United States regained the top spot for the fastest individual machine, the list showed that China remained the most prolific producer of supercomputers.[19]
In April 2021, seven Chinese supercomputing entities were added to the Entity List of the United States Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security.[20] The U.S. government cited their involvement in supporting China’s military modernization and weapons development programs. Placement on the list subjects these entities to additional license requirements for exports, re-exports, and in-country transfers of items subject to U.S. export regulations.[21]
In 2023, China’s National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou launched the Tianhe Xinyi supercomputer, claiming it to be about five times more powerful than Tianhe-2A. Specific performance metrics were not disclosed.[22]
The scope of these restrictions widened in March 2025, when over 50 additional China-based firms were added to the Entity List. The U.S. government said the companies had sought advanced technologies in supercomputing, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing for military applications.[23] The Commerce Department stated that 27 entities had acquired U.S.-origin items to support China’s military modernization, while seven were involved in advancing China’s quantum technology capabilities. The agency said the expanded restrictions were part of broader efforts to limit Beijing’s access to sensitive technologies, including exascale computing and high-performance AI chips.[24]
Also in March 2025, researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China announced a breakthrough with the Zuchongzhi-3 quantum computer, claiming it to be a quadrillion times faster than the most powerful classical supercomputer. According to the team, the system completed a random circuit sampling task that would take the classical supercomputer Frontier approximately 5.9 billion years to simulate. The researchers attributed this performance to improvements in chip fabrication and wiring configuration.[25]
Supercomputing Centers
SCCAS
The Supercomputing Center of the China Academy of Sciences (SCCAS) is a support service unit affiliated to the Computer Network Information Center (CNIC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with the origin going back to the 1980s.[7] The Supercomputing Center of the China Academy of Sciences (SCCAS) provides academic support functions to the National Centers. SCCAS, which is located in Beijing, is the Northern main node and operation center for China National Grid (CNGrid).[26]
Yinhe-1 was independently designed and manufactured as the first leading China's supercomputer in 1983 with a performance level of 100 MFLOPS.[27]
Shanghai
Shanghai Supercomputer Center (SSC) is a high-performance computing facility located in the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in Pudong, Shanghai, China. Established in December 2000, it was the country’s first public high-performance computing service platform open for general use.[28] Funded by the Shanghai Municipal Government, the SSC provides advanced supercomputing resources for scientific research and industrial applications.[28] Over the years, SSC has housed several notable supercomputers, including the “Shenwei-I” and the “Magic Cube” systems—the latter was the fastest supercomputer in Asia in 2009. The facility plays a key role in China’s computational science infrastructure, serving universities, research institutes, and enterprises nationwide.

Tianjin
The National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin is one of the main centers and is the first state-level supercomputing center approved in May 2009, marking a pivotal milestone in China’s strategic drive for technological self-reliance.[38] The center houses the Tianhe-1 supercomputer unveiled by the National University of Defense Technology on October 29, 2009. As a major project under China’s 863 Program, the design of Tianhe-1 began in 2008. With a peak speed of 1,206 trillion operations per second and a measured Linpack performance of 563.1 trillion operations per second, Tianhe-1 ranked first on the TOP500 list.[39][40] This achievement made China the second country after the United States to develop a supercomputer capable of 10^16 operations per second. To put its speed in perspective, if Tianhe-1 were to compute continuously for one day, a typical microcomputer at that time would require 160 years to match its output. Furthermore, Tianhe-1’s storage capacity is equivalent to the combined holdings of four national libraries.[40]
The Tianjin Computer Institute had been active as far back as 1984 when it developed the 16-bit TQ-0671 microcomputer system.[41] These pioneering efforts laid the foundation for subsequent breakthroughs in China’s supercomputing capabilities. A commercial affiliate of the Tianjin center had previously made the PHPC100 personal supercomputer in 2008 which was about twice the size of a normal desktop computer, but had 40 times the speed. In 2010 a second generation model was released, further advancing regional computing capabilities..[42]
Shenzhen
The National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen (NSCS) was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology in May 2009 as one of China’s first national supercomputing centers in the central-southern region. It is the second national supercomputing center after the one based in Tianjin and houses the second fastest machine in China, and the third fastest in the world.[43]
Located in Xili Lake International Science & Education City, SSC Phase I occupies 43,400 square meters and is equipped with a world-class supercomputer system. In May 2010 the Nebulae computer in Shenzhen placed second on the Top 500 supercomputer list, after the Cray computer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.[44] To date, SSC has served over 30,000 user teams and completed more than 30 million computing tasks.
Phase II is located in Guangming Science City. It covers 46,000 square meters of land and has a total construction area of 116,800 square meters, including essential research buildings, and is scheduled for completion by 2025.[45] This phase aims to expand computational capacity significantly while integrating sustainable design principles, reflecting the country’s commitment to both technological advancement and environmental responsibility. The center will house a 2E-level supercomputer and work alongside Phase I to provide large-scale scientific computing, industrial computation, big data processing, and intelligent supercomputing services.[46] In May 2023, its design received Guangming District’s Top Ten High Aesthetic Design Award for 2022. Built to meet "Green Three-Star" standards, the project features a photovoltaic curtain wall that produces nearly 300,000 kWh annually, reduces heat gain, lowers energy consumption, and emits no pollutants.[47]

Jinan
The National Supercomputing Center in Jinan (NSCCJN) is located in the capital of Shandong Province in East China. It is situated inside the Jinan Supercomputing Center Science and Technology Park, which opened in 2019.[54] The center itself was established in 2011 after receiving approval from China's Ministry of Science and Technology, and in that same year, its scientists designed the Sunway Bluelight, China's first petaflog computer with an independent CPU.[54] The CPU runs the ShenWei processor SW1600 at 975 MHz, running at 796 teraflops and using 137,200 cores in the processor.[55] The supercomputers are stored in the Shanhe supercomputing platform, a storage system for supercomputers developed in-house by Chinese engineers and researchers.
The NSCCJN built the first prototype of the Sunway E-class computer in 2018, after being able to fully localize core components for the first time. In March 2021, the center launched the subsequent generation of the Sunway Bluelight, the Sunway Bluelight II, with a computing power 14 times greater than its predecessor and over 14,000 additional cores in its CPU. Its cloud platform retrieves data from the nation's environmental monitoring system to forecast air quality and weather patterns. The platform is working with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to predict China's carbon emission goals to reach the dual carbon goal faster, and is now being used by over 2,000 users that include corporations, universities and colleges, and governmental departments and agencies.[54]
