Japan's 100 Billion Supercomputing Cpu Development Is Completed: 3 Times Power Consumption, 100 Times Performance Improvement.

Recently, the news of the American Summit supercalculation has once again triggered the super competition between China and the United States, but in the new generation of hundreds of billions of overrun competitions, Japan is also an incapable opponent besides China and the United States. In recent years, the Fujitsu Corporation has been developing "Beijing" in cooperation with the Japanese Institute of science and chemical research. The successor can reach 10 billion times, which is 100 times that of Beijing, but its energy consumption is only about three times that of Beijing. Today, Fujitsu announced that the new generation of supercomputing has completed the prototype development of CPU and is carrying out functional testing.

Japan now the strongest supercalculation is Beijing (Kyo), its name comes from Japanese figures, the name of the Japanese K comes from the Japanese word Kei, the 1 Beijing represents 1 Mega times 10 thousand times, because Beijing is the first to reach 1 billion times of the performance of the supercalculation, with this to take the two times the 2011 TOP500 champion, the 2004 Japan's earth simulator supernumerable was squeezed down After first, Japan got TOP500 first again.

Beijing supercalculation is a Japanese Fujitsu research and development, said that the use of the SPARC64 processor, a total of 68544 processors, 548352 cores, but in the last few years, no upgrade, TOP500 rankings have been in China, the United States has been squeezed to the tenth place, so the past few years have been supported by the government under the support of the government to research and development of Beijing Super The next generation.

Compared with the existing supercalculation, the biggest change in the next generation of Beijing supercomputing is the overall shift from the SPARC64 architecture to the ARM. Fujitsu has announced its own ARMv8 SVE (scalable vector extension) chip, using the 512bit floating-point operation unit, each node using 48 core +2 auxiliary cores, IO and computing nodes 4 8 nuclear +4 auxiliary nuclear structure.

According to Fujitsu's information, the next generation of Beijing supercomputing will be 100 times the current performance, that is, to reach hundreds of billions of times, and power consumption is only 30-40MW, compared with the power of the Beijing supercomputing power is 12.7MW, that is to say, the next generation of Japan's next generation over 3 times the power to achieve 100 times the performance improvement.

Fujitsu has already completed the prototype of the self developed ARMv8 processor. At present, the new generation of supercomputing has entered the functional test stage.
