Japan – NEC launches a new model of the “SX-Aurora TSUBASA” vector supercomputer that more than doubles computing performance and power efficiency
NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) will launch the new “SX-Aurora TSUBASA C401-8” for data centers in an “SX-Aurora TSUBASA” vector supercomputer that offers 2.5 times the computing performance and twice the power efficiency of previous models. In this product, the number of cores has been increased from the previous 10 cores to 16 cores, and a new L3 cache has been adopted to achieve faster computation performance. In addition, the adoption of state-of-the-art processes has resulted in improved power efficiency. The new system will be utilized for large-scale scientific computing at Tohoku University’s Science Center (Tohoku University). Tohoku University is scheduled ... Read more
