Horinger supercomputing center launches in Hohhot city

The China Meteorological Administration, or CMA inaugurated its new supercomputing center in the Horinger New Area in Hohhot – capital city of North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region – on May 20. The Horinger supercomputing center aims to be highly sustainable, with up to 7 percent of its power coming from green energy sources, reducing carbon emissions by nearly 3,000 metric tons annually. The new facility has already been utilized for numerical weather prediction services during the 14th National Winter Games hosted by Inner Mongolia, with core systems – such as the CMA's global numerical weather prediction models – currently undergoing testing. Officials from the CMA, the autonomous region and local government departments attended the inauguration ceremony and toured the facility, gaining insights into the scale and capabilities of the new supercomputing system.
