The LineShine supercomputer project, announced at the National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen, plans to achieve over 2 ExaFlops of compute performance without foreign chip dependencies. It consists of two phases, with the first phase featuring 100 Huawei Kunpeng servers and a total of 12,800 cores, while the second phase will include 1,580 blade servers with x86 CPUs, totaling 101,120 cores and a theoretical peak of over 10 Petaflops.
The system will incorporate 47,000 CPUs, 650 PB of storage capacity, and advanced liquid cooling infrastructure. With this project, China aims to enhance its position in high-performance computing and respond to export restrictions on advanced technologies. The operational timeline suggests LineShine could be fully functional around 2029-2030.
