by a joint team led by Chen Guoliang at the computer science technology department of the University of Science and Technology of China (USCT) and ICT (the secondary contractor). KD-50-I is the first Chinese built supercomputer to utilize domestic Chinese CPUs, with a total of more than 336 Loongson-2F CPUs, and nodes interconnected by ethernet. The size of the computer was roughly equivalent to a household refrigerator and the cost was less than RMB800,000 (approximately 120,000, 80,000). On 20 April 2010, USTC announced the successful development of the Loongson 3A based KD-60-1. The supercomputer is a cluster of standard blade servers with a total of over 80 quad-core Loongson processors, providing theoretical peak performance of 1 TFLOPS and reduces power consumption by 56% compared to the KD-50-I system, with similar performance. On 26 December 2012, USTC announced the Loongson 3B based KD-90-1. Based around blade servers, like the KD-60-1, the supercomputer has over 10 octo-core Loongson processors, providing theoretical peak performance of 1 TFLOPS, and reduces power consumption by 62% compared to the KD-60 system that has similar performance. In 2012 it was reported that Loongson processors were to be found in the Sunway BlueLight MPP and Dawning 6000 supercomputers.
