Cluster overview ​

The Taihang I High-Performance Data and Computing Platform is operated by the Biodesign Center at the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Cumulative investment exceeds RMB 40 million. It provides high-performance computing, accelerated computing, virtualization, and high-performance storage for biodesign research.

Published capacity figures ​

The Chinese overview reports 4,576 CPU cores, 230 accelerators, CPU performance of 220 TFOPS, and GPU performance of 312 TFOPS (units reproduced as written in the source).

Source inventory discrepancies

These summary figures do not reconcile with all rows of the expanded inventory below. The source's L20 row lists 8*4090(48G), and the 4090 row's total-core figure conflicts with its CPU specification. These values are preserved for traceability, not independently verified specifications. Confirm current inventory with the administrator or the partition guide.
