A team of Chinese scientists say the country's latest supercomputer has successfully run an artificial intelligence (AI) model as complex as the human brain.

According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), researchers at the National Research Center for Parallel Computing Technology and Engineering (China) used the Sunway machine to train an AI model called bagualu with 174 trillion parameters, equivalent to the number of connections between neurons in the brain. This technology has potential applications in self-driving vehicles and facial recognition, natural language processing, computer vision, life sciences and chemistry.
Scientists announced the above results at the international conference Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming 2022 organized online by the American Association for Computing Machinery in April. This achievement puts the Sunway supercomputer on par with Frontier - the latest machine built by the US Department of Energy, and is also known as the world's most powerful supercomputer to date.
The Sunway supercomputer is capable of processing one trillion operations per second and contains over 37 million CPU cores, four times more than Frontier. It is a giant brain with 9 petabytes of memory, equivalent to more than 2 million DVD-quality movies, and 96,000 semi-independent computer systems called nodes.
The interactions between nodes, which take place at speeds of more than 23 petabytes per second, simulate the way thoughts change in the human brain, according to scientists. One researcher said the machine's parallel computing capabilities mimic our thinking "like eating while watching TV."
Like its predecessor, the Sunway TaihuLight, the new version uses domestically produced chips with unique features such as energy efficiency and high bandwidth. The TaihuLight supercomputer, located at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, topped the list of the world's 500 most powerful supercomputers from 2016 to 2018.
Since 2016, China has been developing three supercomputers capable of performing at least a trillion calculations per second. Many expect these machines to be as powerful as the next-generation Sunway.
