Abstract

Since 2013, China’s supercomputer has been ranked first in the global supercomputer rankings, and now the United States has returned to its peak, engineers at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory released “Summit,” a supercomputer with powerful performance that surpasses the current record holder: China’s Shenwei·Taihu Light. AI has played an important role in recent development of supercomputer systems. In this paper, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of future supercomputer systems based on the thinking of AI.
