Abstract
This paper focuses on the trends of high performance computers. After reviewing the history and current situation of high performance computers, key technologies of massively parallel processing (MPP) including scalability, friendliness and availability are discussed. Then SUNWAY high performance computer and its applications are briefly introduced. Finally the viewpoints on developing high performance computers in China is presented.
Keywords
