China unveils a CPU-only supercomputer capable of 1.54 exaflops — LineShine LX2 packs a frankly ridiculous 2.4 million Armv9 cores from Huawei
China has introduced a new supercomputer named LineShine, which operates solely on CPU technology. This machine achieves an impressive performance of 1.54 exaflops using 2.45 million Armv9 cores developed by Huawei. The supercomputer's architecture allows for efficient AI training without the need for GPUs.
- ▪The LineShine supercomputer consists of 20,480 compute nodes, each with two LX2 processors.
- ▪Each LX2 processor contains 304 CPU cores, totaling approximately 2.45 million Armv9 cores in the entire system.
- ▪The architecture of the LX2 processor includes features that enhance matrix operations crucial for AI training.
