The Sunway BlueLight (神威蓝光) is a Chinese massively parallel supercomputer. It is the first publicly announced PFLOPS supercomputer using Sunway processors solely developed by the People's Republic of China.[JOHN MARKOFF, The New York Times. " China Has Homemade Supercomputer Gain." October 28, 2011. Retrieved November 7, 2011.][Cade Metz, WIRED. " China Builds World-Class Supercomputer Sans Intel, AMD." October 31, 2011. Retrieved November 7, 2011.]
It ranked #2 in the 2011 China HPC Top100,[ 2011年中国高性能计算机性能TOP100排行榜] #14 on the November 2011 TOP500 list,[http://top500.org/list/2011/11/100 TOP500 List – November 2011 (1–100)] and #39 on the November 2011 Green500 List.[[3] The Green500 List – November 2011] The machine was installed at National Supercomputing Jǐnán Center (国家超算济南中心) in September 2011[ and was developed by National Parallel Computer Engineering Technology Research Center (国家并行计算机工程技术研究中心) and supported by Technology Department (科技部) 863 project. The water-cooled 9-rack system has 8704 ShenWei SW1600 processors (For the Top100 run 8575 CPUs were used, at 975 MHz each]) organized as 34 super nodes (each consisting of 256 compute nodes), 150 TB main memory, 2 PB external storage, peak performance of 1.07016 PFLOPS, sustained performance of 795.9 TFLOPS, LINPACK efficiency 74.37%, and total power consumption 1074 kW.
The Sunway BlueLight is ranked 103rd (ranked highest at 14th when it appeared on the list in November 2011; then 65th in the November 2014)
