NUDT的天河二号夺回世界第一的宝座，值得庆贺。

The Tianhe-2 is nearly twice as fast as the next computer on the list

Tianhe-2 uses a locally developed Linux-based operating system.

我看了几个地方的新闻，下面的评论没有几个好的，什么用别人的芯片啊，自己造不出芯片啊之类的。我不知道这些评论的人是不是Intel芯片的制造人，或者研发了F35之类的让中国很羡慕的东西。但是我觉得世界上所有的做超级计算的，他们所能利用的open资源，至少是相同的，或者NUDT作为一所特殊的学校，可以获取的open资源还更少。在这样一个条件下，能做出比第二快一倍的超算机器，乃是一个值得庆贺的事情！

另外，在BBC的报道中，也提到了确实使用了Intel的芯片，但是

the University of Tennessee's Jack Dongarra - a member of the Top 500 list team who visited the project in May - noted that many of its features were developed in China and are unique. These include:

• A custom-built interconnection network, which routes data across the system

• The inclusion of 4,096 Galaxy FT-1500 CPUs (central processing units) designed by the university - these have been installed to handle specific weather-forecasting and national-defence applications and are not included in the headline performance figures

• The use of the Kylin operating system - this Linux-based OS is named after a mythical beast known as the "Chinese unicorn", and was designed by the university to be a high-security option for users in government, defence, energy, aerospace and other critical industries

我看到一条在科学网的评论，说“越来越多的中国元素”是编者自己加进去的，看来并不如该评论者所说。

另外，我找到了Jack Dongarra参观了NUDT后写的一份非常详尽的报告。需要的人可以留下邮箱，我将发给你们。

最后，我希望每一个做research的人，都努力的将自己做的工作做到同一个领域的领先，而不是总挑别人的瑕疵。如果你没有参与到天河的研发，你也不会知道他们的艰辛和努力。不是简单的将Intel的CPU连接起来就可以做到世界第一的，如果是这样的话，每一个做超级计算机的实验室都可以做到世界第一。但是，世界第一只有一个，这次NUDT荣幸的awarded了。
