China started assembling a space supercomputer

Dmitry Dzhugalik Author of news on Mezha.media. I write about what I actively admire, namely technology, games and cinema.

China launched the first 12 satellites within the planned orbital network of supercomputers, which will have 2800 satellites. The satellites that the company created in collaboration with the Zhijang and Neijang High-Tech Zone laboratory will be able to process the collected data independently, not rely on ground stations, writes The Verge

Launched satellites are included in the Star Compute program from Ada Space, which became the first phase of the “constellation of three-tole computing”. Each of the 12 apparatus is equipped with a CI model with 8 billion parameters and is capable of performing 744 teraoperatives per second (Tops). According to ADA Space, they together provide productivity of up to 5 petatoperatives per second (POPS).

Satellites have at times higher power for large language models than the usual computers, which in the case of Copilot+ computers are required only 40 Tops. The ultimate goal of the Chinese government is to have a network of thousands of satellites that reach 1000 POPs.

Satellites exchange data with a laser communication with a speed of up to 100 Gbps and have a joint amount of memory of 30 terabytes. All 12 devices launched by the Long March 2D rocket carry a scientific load, including x-ray polarization detectors for fixing short-term space phenomena such as gamma-plalas. They are also capable of creating three -dimensional digital datas that can be used to respond to emergencies, as well as in video games and tourism.

The benefits of space supercomputer are not limited to saving time. Unlike traditional satellite data transmission, which is slow and provides delivery of less than 10% of the information collected on the ground, orbital processing centers can process data directly in space. They use the energy of the sun and emit excess heat into open space, which significantly reduces energy consumption and carbon. In the future, similar initiatives can appear in the US and Europe.
