Taiwania (traditional Chinese: 台灣杉; simplified Chinese: 台湾杉; pinyin: Táiwān Shān) is a supercomputer series in Taiwan owned by the National Applied Research Laboratories.[1]

History

The supercomputer was activated on 9 May 2018 after a two-year program to establish it with a cost of NT$430 million.[1]

In April of 2023, it was unveiled that Taiwania 1 itself will be retired and replaced by Taiwania 4.

Technical specifications

The Taiwania 1 Supercomputer has a memory of 3.4 petabytes with a maximum speed of 1.33 quadrillion FLOPS.[1] The hardware takes up a total area of 33 m2.[2] Taiwania 2 has a maximum speed of 9 PFLOPS. Taiwania series at a glance.

Taiwania 2

History

The Taiwania 2 supercomputer is a follow on to the Taiwania supercomputer designed by the National Center for High-Performance Computing.[3] Taiwania 2 debuted at 20 on the November 2018 TOP500 and 10 on the Green500.[4]

Technical specifications

Taiwania 2 has a computing capacity of 9 quadrillion floating-point operations per second (9 PetaFLOPS, or 9 PFLOPS). Its hardware consists of 252 nodes, each of which contains two Intel Xeon Gold CPUs and eight NVIDIA V100 GPUs.[4] It runs the CentOS operating system.[5]

Taiwania 3 is one of the supercomputers made by Taiwan,.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][excessive citations] and also the newest one (August, 2021). It is placed in the National Center for High-performance Computing[16] of NARLabs. There are 50,400 cores in total with 900 nodes,[17][15] using Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 2.4 GHz CPU (28 Cores/CPU)[15][18] and using CentOS as Operating System.[19] It is an open access for public supercomputer.[20][21] It is currently open access to scientists and more to do specific research after get permission from Taiwan's National Center for High-performance Computing.[17][22][23][15][24] This is the third supercomputer of the Taiwania series. It uses CentOS x86_64 7.8 as its system operator and Slurm Workload Manager as workflow manager to ensure better performance. Taiwania 3 uses InfiniBand HDR100 100Gbit/s high speed Internet connection to ensure better performance of the supercomputer. The main memory capability is 192GB. There's currently two Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 2.4 GHz CPU (28 Cores/CPU) inside each node. The full calculation capability is 2.7PFLOPS.[25] It is launched into operation in November 2020 before schedule due to the needed for COVID-19.[10][23][26] It is currently ranked number 227 on Top 500 list of June, 2021[19] and number 80 on Green 500 list.[27] It is manufactured by Quanta Computer, Taiwan Fixed Network, and ASUS Cloud.[19][22][28][29][30]
