On the 67th edition of the TOP500, LineShine debuts as the new No. 1 system, ending El Capitan's run atop the list and becoming the fifth Exascale system overall. It is the first China-based system to lead the TOP500 since Sunway TaihuLight in 2017. LineShine is installed at the National Supercomputing Centre in Shenzhen (NSCS), China, and was built by the Shenzhen Cloud Computing Center. It submitted a debut measurement of 2.198 Exaflop/s on the HPL benchmark, more than 20% ahead of the No. 2 system, using 13,789,440 cores. The system is based on the custom "LingKun" platform with 304-core LX2 processors running at 1.55 GHz, the proprietary LingQi interconnect, and Kylin OS. LineShine also takes over the No. 1 spot on the HPCG ranking with 22.00 Petaflop/s. On the HPL-MxP benchmark, which measures mixed-precision performance, LineShine debuts in fourth at 7.92 Exaflop/s with a more modest 3.6x speedup, consistent with its CPU-only design.
