The new system will achieve a theoretical peak performance of 6.6 petaflops by clustering 1,368 next-generation Fujitsu Server PRIMERGY x86 servers that feature Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors.
Petaflops: Short for peta floating point operations per second. Peta is an SI prefix indicating one quadrillion, or 10 to the power of 15, indicating performance of one quadrillion floating point operations per second.

These reports not only verify the superb performance of our PRIMERGY and PRIMEQUEST platforms, but can also help you select a specific server system and configuration. Photo courtesy of Fujitsu

At the same time, the center plays a core role in the Joint Usage / Research Center for Interdisciplinary Large-scale Information Infrastructures (JHPCN) and it has contributed to R&D in a wide range of fields, including the natural sciences, engineering, and the social sciences by providing computational resources to High Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI).

The new system is also expected to be used for field trials designed to create data utilization platforms with a vision of achieving Society 5.0.
Society 5.0 : A human-centric society that delivers both economic development and resolutions to societal issues through systems that fuse cyberspace (virtual spaces) and physical space (the real world) at a high level.
