Then China should get the really accurate weather predictions
They don’t need another machine to tell them their flooding.
The US vs them sentiment shouldn't exist when it comes to science. Rather, congratulate them and produce a better machine.
China has just as many paradoxes as the US, the good be the bad mentality only fosters the air of war.
It's not the science, it's the strategic and economic advantage. Not sayin it's right, just sayin.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Jack Dongarra, an industry luminary, Turing award laureate, and co-founder of TOP500, says the US is likely behind China in the exascale supercomputing race.
It appears that a third Chinese exascale supercomputer, long thought to be halted indefinitely due to the impact of US sanctions, has come online.
According to the TOP500, China comes in at a distant 7th (with the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer) and 10th place (Tianhe-2) - trillions of calculations per second away from the top dog, the US-based (and AMD-powered) Frontier exascale computer.
"They have not run the benchmarks, but [the community has] a general idea of their architectures and capabilities based on research papers published to describe the science coming out of those machines."
This machine hasn't been submitted for the prize, and the project has long been thought to be halted indefinitely due to Sugon being placed on the blacklist in 2019.
Chinese companies being publicly bullish about recouping sanction-imposed losses in a year's time has to put at least a question mark over their effectiveness in the first place.
