Since beginning operation on June 20, China’s Sunway TaihuLight, the world’s fastest supercomputer, has made more than 100 key achievements in 19 fields covering climate, marine life, aerospace, biology, materials science, particle physics, medicine and more.

The supercomputer has worked on important national projects such as predicting the falling trajectory of China's first space station module Tiangong-I, which is set to fall back to Earth in 2017. It has also offered commercial services, processing data for Envision Energy, a Shanghai-based energy technology services provider. The powerful computer calculated China's wind resources from 2014 to 2015 in only 12 days, while simultaneously processing other jobs.

For reference, other supercomputers would need approximately 45 days to achieve the same feat. Sunway TaihuLight has been working more than 60 percent of the time since its deployment, while maintaining a low failure rate of 0.6 percent.

Researchers at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, where the supercomputer is housed, said they have invited scientists from a number of laboratories to work with computing experts at the center to design new software. Fluid mechanics and medical experts have already started to cooperate at the center.
