Centre director Liu Guangming said the supercomputer was still running smoothly after the blast.
Protected by a reinforced computer room, the supercomputer and its database are intact, said Liu.
Liu and his staff said they decided to manually shut down Tianhe-1A half an hour after the blasts due to security concerns.
