Fugaku Tops Graph500 Ranking - Achieving the Highest Evaluation in Graph Analysis Crucial for Big Data Processing -
JapaneseThe collaborative research group consisting of RIKEN, Institute of Science Tokyo, Fixstars Corporation, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), and Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu) has won the world’s top position in the BFS (Breadth-First Search) category of Graph500, an international supercomputer performance ranking for large-scale graph analyses, using the supercomputer Fugaku[1]. This marks the 11th consecutive term win for Fugaku. The achieved performance is approximately 204 TeraTEPS[2].
The ranking was announced by the Graph500 Committee on their website Graph500 in conjunction with the international conference on high-performance computing (HPC), "ISC High Performance 2025," currently being held at the Congress Center Hamburg in Germany.
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.
