NCIC's research and development in parallel processing

National Research Center for Intelligent Computing Systems (NCIC) is the unique national hi-tech R/D center for advanced computing technology in China. We introduce China's Hi- Tech R&D Programme (863 programmes) and NCIC, and we report on the state of the art of parallel processing at NCIC. The article discusses the key technologies being exploited by the representative Chinese R & D teams and the wide applications of parallel computers in China. The key technologies in parallel processing we are attacking are reported and include wormhole routing and other efficient switching techniques, the Easter series, MPP systems, the Dawning series symmetric and multi-thread multiprocessor, parallel operating systems and parallel file systems, parallel compilers and efficient programming tools. Future research directions at NCIC are also mentioned.<
