RIKEN launches international initiative with Fujitsu and NVIDIA for "FugakuNEXT" development

RIKEN is collaborating with Fujitsu Limited(Fujitsu) and NVIDIA to launch an international initiative for the development of Japan’s new flagship supercomputer — the next-generation successor to the current “Fugaku” supercomputer — (development codename: “FugakuNEXT”). For the first time in Japan’s flagship supercomputing systems, GPUs will be adopted as accelerators, with NVIDIA leading the design for the GPU infrastructure. Fujitsu, which has already been working with RIKEN, will lead the basic design of the overall system, compute nodes, and CPUs. As a foundation for high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, the three organizations will work together to build an "AI-HPC platform" to solve challenges through computation.
