It is jointly founded by jointly sponsored by the provincial government of Guangdong, the city government of Guangzhou, the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) and Sun Yat-Sen University.

NSCC-GZ is emerging as a world-class supercomputing center that integrates the functions of high performance computing, massive data processing and information management and services, providing a power engine to boost the economic and social development of Guangzhou city, Guangdong province and beyond.

NSCC-GZ has now developed the Tianhe-2 Supercomputing System, which delivers over a hundred petaflops at peak performance. In 2014, TianheⅡ was the world's fastest supercomputer for the third consecutive time. Meanwhile, it serves as a supporting platform for the development of innovative and smart cities by providing big data storage and processing services. Striving to become a world class supercomputing center, NSCC-GZ is intent on offering the best application services to the globe.

Located in the beautiful East Campus of Sun Yat-Sen University, NSCC-GZ takes up a total area of 42,332 square meters. The building's architecture, with round and square shapes, is a metaphor of the numbers 0 and 1 used in computer language. The construction area of the building totals 42,332 square meters, including nearly 17,500 square meters for machinery and other affiliated structures.
