China's new supercomputer overtakes US competition. Should we trust AI detectors? And in the test: eustella, a new European AI platform.
China has reclaimed the throne in the supercomputer field, and the technological race has entered a new phase. The emergence of "Lingshen," which achieved the world's fastest speed using only CPUs without relying on GPUs, is having repercussions in the fields of AI research and national security.
China bet it could beat the US in supercomputing without Nvidia. It did
A supercomputer in Shenzhen is now officially the fastest machine on Earth. LineShine, operated by China’s National Supercomputing Center, recorded performance placing it 20 percent ahead of El Capitan, the American system at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory that had held the top spot on the global TOP500 rankings. The reason the number matters as much as the speed: LineShine is built on domestically developed components, not the specializ…
China's 'Lingsheng' Supercomputer Returns to World No. 1 After Nine-Year Gap
China has reclaimed the top spot on the global TOP500 supercomputer rankings for the first time in nine years. The Lingsheng (灵晟) system, debuting at No. 1 on the 67th edition of the list released June 23 in Hamburg, Germany, marks the country's return to the pinnacle of high-performance computing since the Sunway TaihuLight held the title in 2017.Unlike most contemporary supercomputers that rely on CPU+GPU hybrid architectures, Lingsheng adopts…
China's LineShine supercomputer has been named the world's fastest, even though it doesn't use GPUs, which dominate the industry. Its success could undermine the US strategy of restricting China's access to advanced AI technologies.
