"Moon Bright over Chao Lake", Hefei's new advanced computing center, is an important sci-tech infrastructure and public service platform of Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center. It officially began operating at the end of June this year and has over 1,500 servers with functions including scientific computing, intelligent computing, liquid cooling, and data storage, allowing it to carry out cosmological numerical simulation of neutrinos and dark matter with trillions of particles. As the "most powerful brain" of Hefei, the center is now facilitating research in multiple scientific fields such as weather forecasting, simulation of cosmic evolution, seismic analysis, and so on.
