China first started my own general-purpose supercomputer. Computing power computer KD-50-I of a trillion operations per second (one teraflops), according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
In supercomputers, created in China earlier, used foreign technology (as a rule, firms IBM, Intel and AMD). In KD-50-I and the processor, and other details are based on own research of the Chinese scientific and technological university, in particular, the processor "Loongson-2 F" (formerly known as "Godson-2 F").
KD-50-I was approved by the expert committee on Dec. 26, 2007. The computer takes about as much space as an ordinary kitchen refrigerator has a capacity of less than six kilowatts. The cost model is less than 800,000 yuan (110,000 dollars). The operating system uses open-source software
Peak performance of KD-50-I can reach a trillion operations per second (teraflops one). For comparison: in Edinburgh, now introduced into the system supercomputer Hector, having a thickness of about sixty-three teraflops.
The Chinese developers plan in 2008 to bring the capacity of its supercomputers to one hundred teraflops. In addition, they want to make computers with processors "Loongson" available to most Chinese. Currently, the CAS notes, because of the commercial strategy of producers processors 90 percent of China's population can not afford to buy a computer.
