The collaborative research group consisting of RIKEN, Institute of Science Tokyo, Fixstars Corporation, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), and Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu) has significantly improved the graph analysis performance using the supercomputer Fugaku [1] and achieved the world’s top position in the BFS (Breadth-First Search) category of Graph500, an international supercomputer performance ranking for large-scale graph analyses. This marks the tenth consecutive term win for Fugaku. The achieved performance is approximately 204 TeraTEPS [2], exceeding 200 TeraTEPS for the first time in the world.

The ranking was announced by the Graph500 Committee at The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC24), currently being held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and online. A paper on the details of this measurement will also be presented by the joint research group at SC24.

Notes
  • [1] Supercomputer Fugaku: The successor to the K computer. It aims to contribute to Japan's growth in solving social and scientific challenges and producing world-leading achievements in terms of power efficiency, computational performance, ease of use, creation of breakthrough results, and overall capability to accelerate big data and AI. As the world's highest level supercomputer, it started its shared use in March 2021. Fugaku is currently utilized as an essential HPC infrastructure to achieve Japan's goal of Society 5.0.
  • [2] TEPS (Traversed Edges Per Second): The number of graph edges traversed per second. The Graph500 benchmark processes the vertices of a given graph and the branches connecting them. The computer speed in Graph500 is defined as the number of branches processed per second. Tera represents 10 to the 12th power, and TeraTEPS refers to the number of branches processed per second, measured in units of 10 to the 12th power. The value is calculated using the harmonic mean over 64 trials.
