Fujitsu announced the new generation of supercomputers

On November 8, Fujitsu announced the new generation of commercial supercomputers (called PRIMEHPC FX10), with a record processing speed of 23.2 petaflop, surpassing the K computer of RIKEN Institute (Japan).

Fujitsu partnered with RIKEN Institute, successfully developed the K supercomputing system with the maximum processing speed of 10.51 petaflop, equivalent to more than 10 trillion calculations per second.

The PRIMEHPC FX10 supercomputer information was announced to "shock" many technology lovers, because the supercomputer also achieved twice the processing speed of a K supercomputer, measuring speed to 23.2 petaflop. The FX 10 supercomputer will be sold widely to customers in January 2012.

It is known that Fujitsu will deploy 50 computers configured with FX 10 in the next 3 years.

Currently, the company is debating the new supercomputer with the Sparc64-IXfx processor. This is a supercomputer with a 16-core chip, nearly double that of the 8-core SPARC64 VIIIfx CPUs used on the K supercomputer. The new generation of FX10 supercomputers runs the Linux operating system on Sparc.

The Register said that Fujitsu, IBM, and Cray have so far had computer models with a record breaking speed of 20 petaflop, creating momentum for the supercompetitive competitive supercomputer world to produce. output supercomputers with the fastest processing speed.
