China bypasses US GPU bans with 1.54-exaflops 'LineShine' supercomputer (tomshardware.com)

• Performance: 1.54 exaflops
• Circumvents US GPU export controls
• Used for military and civilian research

"China has commissioned a 1.54-exaflops supercomputer named 'LineShine' that reportedly circumvents US export controls on high-end GPUs. Built without using banned American chips, the system likely relies on domestic alternatives or modified processors. This demonstrates China's ability to advance its computing capabilities despite sanctions, with potential applications in AI, defense simulations, and cryptography."
