Japan has consistently held a prominent position in the TOP500 supercomputer rankings, with Fugaku once claiming the top spot. Now, Japan's RIKEN and Fujitsu are collaborating to develop the next-generation supercomputer, FugakuNEXT, with an ambitious goal of achieving a performance that surpasses current supercomputers by 100 times. This groundbreaking machine will integrate NVIDIA's forthcoming next-next-generation GPU and Fujitsu's MONAKA-X CPU, with a projected operational date of 2030. FugakuNEXT strives to become the world's first Z-class supercomputer, setting a new benchmark in computational power.
