DescriptionFujitsu has been leading the HPC market for 40 years, and today offers a comprehensive portfolio of computing products: Fujitsu’s high-end supercomputer PRIMEHPC series, as well as our x86-based PRIMERGY clusters, software, and solutions, continue to exceed wide-ranging HPC requirements.
Fujitsu also has been working together with RIKEN on Japan’s next-generation supercomputer, and is currently in the detailed design phase. This “Post-K Development Project” aims to develop the successor to the K computer with 100 times more application performance. At SC16, Fujitsu will provide updates on the Post-K supercomputer development, especially on the recently announced adoption of the ARM instruction set architecture, the ARMv8-A with SVE (Scalable Vector Extension). On the development of the SVE, an extension for HPC applications, Fujitsu collaborated closely with ARM, as a “lead partner.” Fujitsu will discuss the Post-K design and the benefits of the transition to this platform for the HPC community.
