China unveils Sugon 8000, a supercluster with 100,000 domestically made GPUs
The Sugon 8000, a supercluster with around 100,000 graphics cards designed and manufactured in China, was presented at China's National High Performance Computing Conference in Shenzhen. The system is located in Zhengzhou, Henan province, and is the central node of China's National Supercomputing Internet. Sugon says all components —chips, networking, storage, cooling and software— come from Chinese suppliers. The company was added to the US Entity List in 2019.

- The cluster runs more than 13,000 nodes, handles more than 6,000 simultaneous tasks and is close to full load, according to figures released by Chinese state media.
- It occupies about 2,000 square meters, weighs around 1,500 tons and contains some 1,600 kilometers of internal cabling.
- Sugon cools the boards by immersing them in a non-conductive fluorinated liquid that boils at about 50 °C, with heat later dissipated by an external water system.
