The first data center has been accomplished and put into use in the city of Yancheng, eastern China's Jiangsu Province, according to the Institute of Computing Technology under the CAS. The center has 1,000 compute and storage nodes and 30,000 processor cores. It can adequately process 10 million video streams per second but consume only 750 kilowatts of power.
High-throughput computing lets the use of multiple computing resources over long periods of time to achieve a computational task. With high-throughput computing, what could have taken weeks before on one computer will require only a few hours on the company's cluster.
A report estimated a tenfold increase in global data volumes from 2016 to 2025. High-throughput computing, with effective data processing ability, can support hundreds of billions of new terminals and huge information processing, said Sun Ninghui, director of the institute.
