Supercomputing In China
The People's Republic of China operates a number of supercomputer centers which have held world records in speed.
The origins of these centers go back to 1989, when the State Planning Commission, the State Science and Technology Commission and the World Bank jointly launched a project to develop networking and supercomputer facilities in China. In addition to network facilities, the project included three supercomputer centers. According to professor Jack Dongarra, the Chinese are making a deep commitment to supercomputing.
