In recent years, the improvements of system performance and energy efficiency for supercomputers have faced increasing challenges, which create more intensive demands on the architecture design for realizing exascale computing. This paper first analyzes the main requirements of exascale computing on the aspects of the parallel computing application and supercomputing center operation. Afterwards, a mapping scheme of "demands-challenges-architecture" is proposed. Then, the major challenges of exascale supercomputer, such as scalability, power consumption, data movement, programming and availability, are thoroughly analyzed, and the corresponding appropriate solutions are proposed. Moreover, this paper proposes the Sunway computer architecture towards exascale computing in which the many-core processor, network chipset and software system are all domestically-designed. The technology roadmap of Sunway supercomputer will hold the comprehensive design methods for the architecture, including the processor, interconnect network,assembly structure, power supply, cooling system, system software, parallel algorithm and application support, promising great advances for exascale supercomputing.

With the rapid improvement of computation capability in high performance supercomputer system, the imbalance of performance between computation subsystem and storage subsystem has become more and more serious, especially when various big data are produced ranging from tens of gigabytes up to terabytes. To reduce this gap, large-scale storage systems need to be designed and implemented with high performance and scalability. MilkyWay-2 （TH-2） supercomputer system with peak performance 54.9 Props, definitely has this kind of requirement for storage system. This paper mainly introduces the storage system in MilkyWay-2 supercomputer, including the hardware architecture and the parallel file system. The storage system in MilkyWay-2 supercomputer exploits a novel hybrid hierarchy storage architecture to enable high scalability of I/O clients, I/O bandwidth and storage capacity. To fit this architecture, a user level virtualized file system, named H^2FS, is designed and implemented which can cooperate local storage and shared storage together into a dynamic single namespace to optimize I/O performance in IO-intensive applications. The evaluation results show that the storage system in MilkyWay-2 supercomputer can satisfy the critical requirements in large scale supercomputer, such as performance and scalability.

In this paper we present the programming of the Linpack benchmark on TianHe-1 system,the first petascale supercomputer system of China,and the largest GPU-accelerated heterogeneous system ever attempted before.A hybrid programming model consisting of MPI,OpenMP and streaming computing is described to explore the task parallel,thread parallel and data parallel of the Linpack.We explain how we optimized the load distribution across the CPUs and GPUs using the two-level adaptive method and describe the implementation in details.To overcome the low-bandwidth between the CPU and GPU communication,we present a software pipelining technique to hide the communication overhead.Combined with other traditional optimizations,the Linpack we developed achieved 196.7 GFLOPS on a single compute element of TianHe-1.This result is 70.1% of the peak compute capability,3.3 times faster than the result by using the vendor＇s library.On the full configuration of TianHe-1 our optimizations resulted in a Linpack performance of 0.563 PFLOPS,which made TianHe-1 the 5th fastest supercomputer on the Top500 list in November,2009.

The Sunway Taihu Light supercomputer is the world’s first system with a peak performance greater than 100 PFlops. In this paper, we provide a detailed introduction to the Taihu Light system. In contrast with other existing heterogeneous supercomputers, which include both CPU processors and PCIe-connected many-core accelerators(NVIDIA GPU or Intel Xeon Phi), the computing power of Taihu Light is provided by a homegrown many-core SW26010 CPU that includes both the management processing elements(MPEs)and computing processing elements(CPEs) in one chip. With 260 processing elements in one CPU, a single SW26010 provides a peak performance of over three TFlops. To alleviate the memory bandwidth bottleneck in most applications, each CPE comes with a scratch pad memory, which serves as a user-controlled cache. To support the parallelization of programs on the new many-core architecture, in addition to the basic C/C++and Fortran compilers, the system provides a customized Sunway Open ACC tool that supports the Open ACC2.0 syntax. This paper also reports our preliminary efforts on developing and optimizing applications on the Taihu Light system, focusing on key application domains, such as earth system modeling, ocean surface wave modeling, atomistic simulation, and phase-field simulation.

Dawning Nebulae is a heterogeneous system composed of 9280 multi-core x86 CPUs and 4640 NVIDIA Fermi GPUs. With a Linpack performance of 1.271 petaFLOPS, it was ranked the second in the TOP500 List released in June 2010. In this paper, key issues in the system design of Dawning Nebulae are introduced. System tuning methodologies aiming at petaFLOPS Linpack result are presented, including algorithmic optimization and communication improvement. The design of its file I/O subsystem, including HVFS and the underlying DCFS3, is also described. Performance evaluations show that the Linpack efficiency of each node reaches 69.89%, and 1024-node aggregate read and write bandwidths exceed 100 GB/s and 70 GB/s respectively. The success of Dawning Nebulae has demonstrated the viability of CPU/GPU heterogeneous structure for future designs of supercomputers.

Boson sampling, thought to be intractable classically, can be solved by a quantum machine composed of merely generation, linear evolution and detection of single photons. Such an analog quantum computer for this specific problem provides a shortcut to boost the absolute computing power of quantum computers to beat classical ones. However, the capacity bound of classical computers for simulating boson sampling has not yet been identified. Here we simulate boson sampling on the Tianhe-2 supercomputer, which occupied the first place in the world ranking six times from 2013 to 2016. We computed the permanent of the largest matrix using up to 312 000 CPU cores of Tianhe-2, and inferred from the current most efficient permanent-computing algorithms that an upper bound on the performance of Tianhe-2 is one 50-photon sample per ～100 min. In addition, we found a precision issue with one of two permanent-computing algorithms.

With the continuous improvement of supercomputer performance and the integration of artificial intelligence with traditional scientific computing,the scale of applications is gradually increasing,from millions to tens of millions of computing cores,which raises great challenges to achieve high scalability and efficiency of parallel applications on super-large-scale systems.Taking the Sunway exascale prototype system as an example,in this paper we first analyze the challenges of high scalability and high efficiency for parallel applications in the exascale era.To overcome these challenges,the optimization technologies used in the parallel supporting environment software on the Sunway exascale prototype system are highlighted,including the parallel operating system,input/output(I/O)optimization technology,ultra-large-scale parallel debugging technology,10-million-core parallel algorithm,and mixed-precision method.Parallel operating systems and I/O optimization technology mainly support largescale system scaling,while the ultra-large-scale parallel debugging technology,10-million-core parallel algorithm,and mixed-precision method mainly enhance the efficiency of large-scale applications.Finally,the contributions to various applications running on the Sunway exascale prototype system are introduced,verifying the effectiveness of the parallel supporting environment design.

With the increase of system scale, the inherent reliability of supercomputers becomes lower and lower. The cost of fault handling and task recovery increases so rapidly that the reliability issue will soon harm the usability of supercomputers. This issue is referred to as the ＂reliability wall＂, which is regarded as a critical problem for current and future supercomputers. To address this problem, we propose an autonomous fault-tolerant system, named Iaso, in MilkyWay- 2 system. Iaso introduces the concept of autonomous management in supercomputers. By autonomous management, the computer itself, rather than manpower, takes charge of the fault management work. Iaso automatically manage the whole lifecycle of faults, including fault detection, fault diagnosis, fault isolation, and task recovery. Iaso endows the autonomous features with MilkyWay-2 system, such as self-awareness, self-diagnosis, self-healing, and self-protection. With the help of Iaso, the cost of fault handling in supercomputers reduces from several hours to a few seconds. Iaso greatly improves the usability and reliability of MilkyWay-2 system.

An analysis of real-world operational data of Tianhe-1A(TH-1A)supercomputer system shows that chilled water data not only can reflect the status of a chiller system but also are related to supercomputer load.This study proposes AquaSee,a method that can predict the load and cooling system faults of supercomputers by using chilled water pressure and temperature data.This method is validated on the basis of real-world operational data of the TH-1A supercomputer system at the National supercomputer Center in Tianjin.Datasets with various compositions are used to construct the prediction model,which is also established using different prediction sequence lengths.Experimental results show that the method that uses a combination of pressure and temperature data performs more effectively than that only consisting of either pressure or temperature data.The best inference sequence length is two points.Furthermore,an anomaly monitoring system is set up by using chilled water data to help engineers detect chiller system anomalies.
