Nvidia joins development of successor to Japan's Fugaku supercomputer
U.S. chip giant Nvidia Corp. will join a project to develop a successor model to Japan's Fugaku supercomputer, which was once the world's fastest, Japan's state-backed Riken research institute said Friday.
They plan to start operating it around 2030, with Nvidia taking charge of graphics processing units, or GPUs, to achieve fast computing for artificial intelligence. The new model is expected to contribute to fields such as drug development, automobile design and measures against climate change. Using Fujitsu's central processing units, or CPUs, the new model is expected to be five to ten times more powerful than its predecessor and be capable of conducting 1 sextillion calculations per second for development of AI applications.
