In the race for the most powerful computers, Fugaku, a Japanese supercomputer, recently beat American and Chinese machines.
A Japanese computer used to fight coronavirus has taken the top spot as the world’s fastest in all the supercomputer rankings for the first time, announced its developers on Monday.
The Fugaku supercomputer, developed by Japan’s Riken scientific research center and firm Fujitsu, is 2.8 times faster than the US-developed Summit supercomputer that is now in second place in the Top500 supercomputer rankings.
Japan’s computer also topped the HPCG, HPL-AI and Graph500 listings, “for the first time in history as a single machine simultaneously,” tweeted Riken director Satoshi Matsuoka.
All supercomputers run over 1000 times faster than a normal computer.
#Fugaku has become No.1 in all the supercomputer performance benchmarks, #Top500, #HPCG, HPL-AI, and the #Graph500 for the first time in history as a single machine simultaneously. Thanks for putting up the list! https://t.co/iM1o0gjrtZ
