Fujitsu Limited today revealed that it has actually been granted an agreement by the Japanese research study and advancement institute RIKEN to develop a next-generation flagship supercomputer. The agreement for the supercomputer, provisionally called “FugakuNEXT,” includes the general system, calculating nodes, and CPU elements and the fundamental style stage is arranged to run up until February 27, 2026.
Supporting Japan’s management in science and innovation with a next-generation computing platform
The fast development of generative AI and other innovations is driving increased need for varied and massive computing resources for R&D. According to a report1 by the HPCI Steering Committee2 developed by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), the value of “AI for Science,” i.e., efforts that integrate AI with simulation innovation, real-time information, and automated experiments, is increasing, triggering countries to focus on innovative computing facilities. Japan requires a brand-new, versatile platform that will attend to these progressing needs, allow its management in science, innovation, and development and help with additional social and commercial development. The HPCI Program Steering Committee has actually selected RIKEN as the main entity accountable for establishing this platform, and RIKEN has actually picked Fujitsu to create it.
Constructing a structure for future development with innovative CPU style
FugakuNEXT will utilize Fujitsu’s recognized supercomputing competence, integrating innovative innovations from the FUJITSU-MONAKA3 general-purpose CPU presently under advancement, and will accommodate progressing consumer requirements by permitting smooth combination with GPUs and other accelerators.
FUJITSU-MONAKA, constructed on leading-edge 2-nanometer innovation, uses Fujitsu’s special innovations, consisting of a microarchitecture enhanced for sophisticated 3D product packaging and ultra-low voltage circuit operation. It intends to provide both high efficiency and power performance throughout varied next-generation computing applications, from edge computing to information centers, while guaranteeing security, security, and ease of usage. The follower CPU to FUJITSU-MONAKA, tentatively called “FUJITSU-MONAKA-X,” meant for usage in FugakuNEXT, will not just acquire and speed up existing Fugaku application possessions however likewise include modern AI processing velocity abilities to satisfy growing AI needs. This CPU is meant for broad application throughout sectors supporting society and market, extending beyond its function in FugakuNEXT.
Through its core, Made-in-Japan CPU innovation, Fujitsu will continue to provide development and develop trust, adding to a first-rate computing facilities and advancing Japanese science and innovation.
Fujitsu is devoted to “making the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation,” intending to attain both organization change and a sustainable society through constant research study and advancement of innovation. FugakuNEXT will be a vital action in recognizing this function.
Vivek Mahajan, Corporate Executive Officer, Corporate Vice President, CTO, in charge of System Platform, Fujitsu Limited, remarks:
“We are excited to be a part of the FugakuNEXT project, which is poised to revolutionize Japan’s scientific and technological landscape. Fujitsu is determined to build a system that can dynamically meet customer needs, drawing on our invaluable experience from Fugaku and the cutting-edge technologies of FUJITSU-MONAKA and FUJITSU-MONAKA-X. By forging diverse partnerships, we will deliver the powerful computing infrastructure that society and industry need to succeed. What’s more, we’ll be channeling the expertise cultivated through this project into the development of next-generation Neural Processing Units (NPUs) and other advanced AI processors, taking Made-in-Japan technology from Japan to the world and spearheading the adoption and acceleration of AI for businesses and society.”
