The Sunway BlueLight (神威蓝光) is a Chinese massively parallel supercomputer. It is the first publicly announced PFLOPS supercomputer using Sunway processors solely developed by the People's Republic of China.[1][2]

It ranked #2 in the 2011 China HPC Top100,[3][4] #14 on the November 2011 TOP500 list,[5] and #39 on the November 2011 Green500 List.[6] The machine was installed at National Supercomputing Jǐnán Center (国家超算济南中心) in September 2011[1][2] and was developed by National Parallel Computer Engineering Technology Research Center (国家并行计算机工程技术研究中心) and supported by Technology Department (科技部) 863 project. The water-cooled 9-rack system has 8704 ShenWei SW1600 processors (For the Top100 run 8575 CPUs were used, at 975 MHz each[3]) organized as 34 super nodes (each consisting of 256 compute nodes), 150 TB main memory, 2 PB external storage, peak performance of 1.07016 PFLOPS, sustained performance of 795.9 TFLOPS, LINPACK efficiency 74.37%, and total power consumption 1074 kW.[3][7]

The Sunway BlueLight is ranked 103rd[8] as of the November 2015 TOP500 list (ranked highest at 14th when it appeared on the list in November 2011; then 65th in the November 2014)
