A Deep Dive On #China’s “#LineShine” All-#CPU, #Exaflops-Class #Supercomputer
LineShine is based on an Armv9.2 CPU core that has SVE2 vector units and the relatively new SME matrix math units as well as integer processing units. #LingKun #LX2 CPU has 304 cores/socket. LineShine machine has a proprietary #LingQi #LQLink interconnect which I am reasonably sure is based on a variation of InfiniBand technology but it could be a jacked-up and stripped-down version of Ethernet.

#China's #supercomputer using local processors heads #TOP500 list
#LineShine comprises 20,480 nodes, and each #LX2 #CPU “integrates two compute dies (304 cores total) and eight on-package HBM stacks (32 GB, 4 TB/s aggregate bandwidth).” Machine also runs #KylinOS – a #Linux distribution that features contributions from around the world. Nodes are interconnected via the #LingQi high-speed network with a dual-plane multi-rail fat-tree topology, offering 1.6 Tb/s bandwidth."
