'Rivaling the number of synapses in the brain.'
According to the report, this puts China's Newest Generation Sunway supercomputer on the same level as the U.S. Department of Energy's Frontier, which was named the world's most powerful supercomputer earlier this month.perform more than one quintillion calculations per second.The team of researchers from China used the Sunway supercomputer to train an AI model called ',' which means"alchemist's pot.
In truth, though the exact number of synapses in a brain is incredibly difficult to map, some estimates suggest the human brain contains up to 1,000 trillion synapses. That's not to say 174 trillion parameters isn't an incredibly impressive number when it comes to the field of artificial intelligence — last year, Google Brain was celebrated forA 'brain-scale' supercomputer
The Sunway supercomputer has a speed of a billion operations per second, or 5.3 floating-point operations per second . According to the researchers, it has 37 million CPU cores — four times as many as Frontier — and nine petabytes of memory. They also claim the 96,000 semi-independent computer systems, called nodes, resemble the power of a human brain. Communications between these nodes take place at a speed of more than 23 petabytes per second.
