IHEP Computing Platform

Also known as Chinese HEP Computing Platform; IHEP-CC

Operated by Institute of High Energy Physics .

Researched with AI assistance, checked by scripts. These rows were researched by AI agents reading public operator, laboratory and vendor sources, appended by scripts and checked by automated validation; no subject-matter expert has reviewed them (how this site is made). A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1350 of 1540 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 64 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

Figures are as last publicly reported for the configuration described below, not a live measurement. Where a system was upgraded in place, the post-upgrade configuration is shown and the earlier one appears in the timeline.

What this machine is made of

One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.

The read

Multi-site computing platform of the IHEP Computing Center serving more than 20 experiments and applications in high-energy physics and related fields. A January 2025 IHEP slide deck gives 100k CPU cores, 400 GPU cards, 102 PB of disk and 50 PB of tape, a 100 Gbps WAN as an LHCONE member, and two centres: Beijing (Intel x86 CPUs, NVIDIA and DCU GPUs, HTC and HPC, an LHCb Tier-1 and ATLAS, CMS and ALICE Tier-2 sites) and Dongguan (Intel x86 and Arm CPUs, NVIDIA A100 and V100 GPUs, HPC and cloud, Huawei OceanStor 9000 storage). The slide is a single self-published source, so the tier stays reported.
