Shenzhen 10,000-Card Ascend Cluster

Also known as Shenzhen 11, 000P intelligent computing cluster; Shenzhen 14, 000P intelligent computing

Operated by Shenzhen Municipal Government .

Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 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

Second-phase cluster of Shenzhen's city-invested intelligent computing project, lit at the end of March 2026: a 10,000-card Huawei Ascend 910C supernode cluster with 11,000 petaflops, billed as China's first 10,000-card full-stack domestic cluster. With the 3,000 petaflops first phase lit in 2025 (fully booked) the city's total is 14,000 petaflops; both phases are 92 percent booked and nearly 50 organisations signed compute framework agreements (SCMP, Silicon UK, Shenzhen News Network). The reports call it a Shenzhen city project and do not name the operating company or district, so the operator is recorded as the municipal government. The petaflops precision is unstated and the first-phase hardware is not described. Power is not published.
