The supercomputer Fugaku continues to hold the top position in the two main rankings for high-performance computers: HPCG and Graph500 BFS. In addition to this, it also ranks sixth in the TOP500 list and fourth in HPL-MxP. HPCG is a performance ranking based on computational methods commonly used in real-world applications, while Graph500 ranks systems based on their performance in graph analysis, a critical component in data-intensive workloads.
The first place in Graph500 was achieved through a collaboration involving RIKEN, the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Fixstars Corporation, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, and Fujitsu. It scored 204,068 TeraTEPS with Fugaku’s 152,064 nodes, marking an improvement of 38,038 TeraTEPS in performance compared to the previous measurement. This is the first time a score over 200 TeraTEPS has been recorded in the Graph500 benchmark.
The other results this time were obtained with Fugaku’s full capacity of 158,976 nodes spread across 432 racks. In HPCG, it achieved 16.00 petaflops. In TOP500, it reached a LINPACK score of 442.01 petaflops, and in HPL-MxP it scored 2.0 exaflopsAn exaflop is a unit of measurement in supercomputing that ….
Since its trial operation began in April 2020 and shared usage started in March 2021, Fugaku has been generating impressive results in various fields including life sciences, disaster prevention and mitigation, energy, manufacturing, basic science, and socioeconomic applications.
Building on the advanced technology that made Fugaku possible, Fujitsu is developing FUJITSU-MONAKA (1), an Arm architecture CPU that achieves high performance, energy efficiency, reliability, and ease of use.
Fujitsu is working with its partners to prepare for the launch of FUJITSU-MONAKA in 2027. Fujitsu and Super Micro Computer, Inc. will jointly develop a high-performance, low-energy AI computing platform that reduces environmental impact by combining FUJITSU-MONAKA with their innovative cooling technology. In collaboration with AMD, Fujitsu combines GPU technology and AMD’s open software stack with FUJITSU-MONAKA to enhance the processing capability for large-scale AI workloads, reduce the environmental impact of data center energy consumption, and provide an AI platform that can help address more social issues.
