Japan to start building 1st 'zeta-class' supercomputer in 2025, 1,000 times more powerful than today's fastest machines
Japan's new state-of-the-art supercomputer, which is due to cost more than $750 million to build, is set to turn on by 2030.
The supercharged machine, which could cost more than $750 million to build, will help Japan keep up with the pace of artificial intelligence(AI) development and is expected to be fully online by 2030. Plans for the new machine — first released on Aug. 28 by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) — reveal that the supercomputer could reach speeds on a zetaFLOPS scale, which has never been achieved before. The decision to build such a superpowered machine has been made "in order to keep up with the development of scientific research using AI," Japanese news site Nikkei wrote in a translated article.
