According to Fu Haohuan, deputy director of Wuxi's National Supercomputer Center and associate professor of Tsinghua University, two of Sunway's new computing applications have already made it as this year's ACM Gordon Bell finalists – one for weather research and another for earthquake simulation.

The winners will be announced at the 2017 Supercomputing Conference which takes place in November.
