China South Africa Bilateral Workshop

The First South Africa-China Bilateral Astronomy Conference “Cosmology with Large Surveys” was held in Durban, South Africa, Dec. 19-26, 2016; see NAOC link here . It was hosted by Prof. Ma Yinzhe of UKZN (University of KwaZulu-Natal), see their conference home page here. The detailed program and many talk slides can be direcly downloaded , including the talk of Rainer Spurzem presenting the Silk Road Project and "Black Holes and gravitational waves from dense star clusters" (3.2 MB).

New Chinese Supercomputer Nr. 1

The current list of 500 fastest supercomputers in the world shows for the first time two Chinese supercomputers on the two top spots - number 2 is the already well known Tianhe-2 Supercomputer using Intel processors and accelerator. But the new number 1 system is the Taihu Supercomputer, which solely uses Chinese processor technology, reaches 125 Pflop/s with more than ten million cores, and puts a considerable distance in performance to the still fastest US supercomputer. See this link for the news on Taihu, and this link on the top 500 list.
