| Abstract | |
| China operates a number of supercomputer centers which have held world records in speed. The progress of supercomputing in China has been dramatic, it placed 10th in June 2004, then 5th during 2005. By mid-2010 it had reached the 2nd spot and at the end of 2010 the top spot. After that, we developed Tianhe-2 in 2013. Tianhe-2 is now recognized as the most powerful supercomputer in the world according to top500.org. It could be widely used in scientific computing and Big Data processing. Tianhe-2 designs and implements the new hierarchical accelerated storage architecture, which fits to the Big Data management. The system expects to work in the field of Big Data applications to generate the ability to quickly compute, simulate and make more informed decisions. | |

| Kai Lu is a Professor and the deputy dean of the College of Computer Science, National University of Defense Technology, China. He is the associated chief designer of the Tianhe-1 (MilkyWay-1) and the Tianhe-2 (MilkyWay-2) supercomputer system. Tianhe-2 is now recognized as the most powerful supercomputer in the world according to top500.org. He is the leading designer of the system software, including the operating system, the file system, the resource management system, the compiler system, the parallel development tools, the parallel numerical toolkit and the autonomous fault tolerant management system. Tianhe-2 designs and implements the new hierarchical accelerated storage architecture, which fits to the Big Data management. The system expects to work in the field of Big Data applications to generate the ability to quickly compute, simulate and make more informed decisions.
His research interests include computer architecture and system software. Kai Lu graduated from the National University of Defense Technology with a Ph.D degree in computer science and technology in 1999. |
