[System characteristics]
|
|
Fastest system in the world
|
|
10 petaflops (1016 floating-point operations per second)
|
|
|
|
General-purpose
|
The supercomputer will be able to run all kinds of applications for science, technology, and industry, and complex large-scale simulations that are presently impossible.
|
|
|
Innovative systems
|
The supercomputer will use significantly less electricity and space than previous supercomputers, thanks to several pieces of cutting-edge technology developed by RIKEN together with Fujitsu, NEC, and Hitachi.

[Basic system configuration]
|
The Next-Generation Supercomputer will be a hybrid general-purpose supercomputer that provides the optimum computing environment for a wide range of simulations.
|
|
-Calculations will be performed in processing units that are suitable for the particular simulation.
|
-Parallel processing in a hybrid configuration of scalar and vector units will make larger and more complex simulations possible.
