China's LineShine supercomputer has claimed the top spot on the Top 500 list, achieving over 2 ExaFLOPS of double-precision performance using only CPUs. This marks a significant return for China in supercomputing rankings, with the system deployed at the National Supercomputing Centre in Shenzhen. While LineShine excels in traditional supercomputing tasks and ranks first in HPCG, its mixed-precision performance is lower than some competitors, potentially limiting its utility for AI training and inference.
