The supercomputer ‘Fugaku’ has achieved the world’s high rating in two classes for the ninth consecutive time period.

According to RIKEN, Fugaku secured first place in two sensible efficiency analysis classes within the biannual world supercomputer rankings. These classes assess the flexibility to carry out sensible information evaluation.

Developed collectively by RIKEN and Fujitsu with a authorities funding of 110 billion yen, Fugaku has been operational for 3 years. It has been used for varied functions, together with simulations of droplet dispersal from the mouth and predicting linear precipitation zones that trigger heavy rain.

Despite rating fourth for the second consecutive time period within the computational pace class, RIKEN commented, “Fugaku continues to demonstrate world-class overall capabilities.”
