LineShine, installed at the National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen, is built on a custom LingLun platform with a 1.55 GHz 304-core LX2 processor, a proprietary LingQi interconnect, and the Kylin OS. It achieved 2198 Exaflop/s on the HPL benchmark using 13,789,440 cores, nearly 80% of its theoretical maximum.
