Supercomputers were used in numerous vital fields, including weather forecasting, aerospace, geophysics, cosmology and astronomy, economics, large-scale genome assembly, biomedicine, new materials, Smart Cities, cloud computing, and big data.
They also played major roles in fields such as big science, major engineering projects, and information technology.
This was a national strategic high technology, a vital instrument of the nation. It was an important marker of a country's technological strength and a commanding height every nation sought to seize.
The Superconducting Computer currently being assembled was truly the pinnacle of modern technology.
The Superconducting Computer used Superconducting Chips that had yet to be released, while its circuit boards were also entirely made from superconductors. This was Chen Mo's most extravagant project yet.
The Supercomputer materials obtained from the Sci-Tech Library came with complete technology, so Chen Mo faced no technical bottlenecks. However, he had Mo Nv calculate and optimize the design blueprints.
The Supercomputer blueprints obtained from the Sci-Tech Library were not for a Superconducting Computer. The designs included a sophisticated cooling system.
Since the Superconducting Computer produced very little heat, the cooling system was practically useless. Chen Mo therefore had Mo Nv remove that section from the original designs.
The current Superconducting Computer cabinets used the optimized cabinet blueprints.
The current Superconducting Computer consisted of ten computing cabinets and two network cabinets. Each computing cabinet was slightly larger than a double-door refrigerator and contained four supernodes, each made up of thirty-two computing modules.
Each module consisted of four computing node boards, and each computing node board contained two high-performance processors made of Superconducting Material. One cabinet alone held 1,024 processors, while the entire machine had more than 12,000, all high-performance processors made with Superconducting Chips.
The twelve cabinets were five times smaller than the country's largest supercomputer. It was not
