A cloud computing node based on Loongson multi-core CPUs was introduced.Both the design and implemen-tation methods of its hardware and software were introduced.Moreover,the prototype was successfully implemented.Experimental results show that one computing node of this system can achieve the performance of 0.256×10<sup>12</sup>TFlops per second,42 1U ranks and 672 CPUs with 2688 CPU cores (672×4) in one cabinet.i.e.it is competing in metrics like Loongson multi-core CPU based,high performance with low power,high integration,etc.and lays a solid foundation for Loongson multi-core CPUs based cloud computing systems.
