During the last ten years,
NCIC introduced a series of Dawning high-performance
computers and super server systems, and three major
series server products named TIANCHAO, TIANYAN, TIANKUO
is formed by this including more than 30 kinds of servers
on company of Dawning. The Dawning server is not merely
used in the information procession of national network,
biological genome sequencing, contributing to the national
information security and to the emergence of new-developing
biological industry of our nation, but also has finished
the computation tasks of more than 300 national-level
subjects in meteorological phenomena, petroleum, nuclear
energy and basic scientific computation, with a batch
of achievements of international repercussions honored,
thus establish the foundation of China's high-performance
computer industry.
Regarded Dawning 1000A and Dawning 2000/3000 super
servers as the capital equipment ten national high-performance
computer centers are already set up in the whole country.
These centers (especially the center of Beijing in
Institute of Computing Technology of Chinese Academy
of Sciences) have played an important role in popularizing
parallel computation. Compared with 1995, the scientific
research personnel of our country who are engaged in
parallel computation have already increased greatly
and a lot of universities and R&D institutions
have been transferred from only PC-based scientific
researches to large-scale parallel computation, which
improved the scientific research level by a large margin.
Some enterprises in the big city such as Shanghai begin
to adopt the parallel computer to do simulation of
designing. The technological radiation of the Dawning
server is not only embodied on the hardware and system
software engineering, but also embodied by the training,
popularizing and improving of the parallel algorithm
and parallel programming at the same time.
The technology of the Dawning server not merely
transfers the intellectual property right to the Dawning
company, offering competitive key technology for core
business of Dawning, but radiates to the leading enterprises
such as Lenovo and large-scale information service
companies.
Based on the technology of cluster, the first production
series of super server of China comes into being. Along
with its coming forth, the monopoly that foreign production
has imposed on Chinese super computer market is broken,
and the game rule is modified. In the evaluation report
of limiting the export of super computer, the National
Audit Bureau of USA referenced the series machine of
Dawning as the limiting standard of exporting to China.
Due to the coequal competition between Dawning super
computer and foreign famous companies, the well-known
foreign brands depreciate greatly and pervasively.
Only for this, the Dawning super computers save thousands
of millions of dollars for our country every year.
The Dawning super computer has been the prevalent
production in domestic market, and has been accepted
and widely
used in many major projects and key businesses. Besides
this, the Dawning No.1 has also been exported abroad
and equipped the Mubarak International Scientific Academe
in Egypt. The success of Dawning super computer in
Egypt has a great influence on Egypt and the around
countries, leads a new way for exporting of 863 advanced
technological products and exploiting foreign market.
After that, the dawning super computer has been exported
to many countries as the representation of advanced
science and technology products, and has played an
important role in aiding foreign projects which our
country makes to Cameroon, Mexico, Jugoslavia, Pakistan
and so on.
The
grand glory of Dawning super computer has been written
into history:
- As the representative products of science of the
technology, the Dawning No.1 was written into the
working report of government by (former) Premier
Li Peng in 1994.
- The dawning 3000 is honored as one of the top ten
science and technology news in 2001 by the academicians
of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy
of Engineering.
- During "the 2nd Chinese Science and Technology
Activity Week" and "the 5th International
Scientific and Technology Exposition of Beijing in
China", the Dawning 3000 is chosen into the
Top-10 Instance of the last five years by CCTV.
- The Dawning 3000 is written into ^The Report on
the National Economy and Development of the Society ̄
in the 5th Session of the Ninth Conference of Chinese
People Representative.
- The Dawning 3000 is mentioned in the Chinese Exam-paper
of the 2002 Entrance Examination for College (Beijing).
