This year, the world’s number two-ranked Tianhe-2 supercomputer (developed by China's National University of Defense Technology) currently installed at the National Super Computer Center in Guangzhou (with peak performance of 94.97 petaflops after the recent upgrading) was very supportive for the participants to access and test their crazy ideas by using the power of the super computer during hackathon at HKUST 2018.
