Home” Science” Japan Plans Zettaflop Supercomputer by 2030
Japan prepares to invest about $761 million to develop a Zettaflop supercomputer. It is called Fugaku Next. It will be constructed by Japanese business RIKEN and Fujitsu, which were both associated with the building and construction of Fugaku.
The AI training clusters with great deals of GPUs can get to a peak of a Zettaflop however this is for FP8 or FP4 estimations.
Intel assisted Japan to do an expediency research study.
The computational node of the Fugaku Next supercomputer will have peak efficiency of a number of hundred FP64 TFLOPS for double-precision calculations, around 50 FP16 PFLOPS for AI-oriented half-precision computations, and roughly 100 PFLOPS for AI-oriented 8-bit accuracy estimations, with memory bandwidths reaching numerous hundred TB/s utilizing HBM-type memory.
Floating-point operations per 2nd (FLOPS) is utilized to determine how quick computer systems can resolve issues– where one floating-point operation is a single estimation. A supercomputer with a speed of 1 zettaFLOPS might make one sextillion (1 followed by 21 absolutely nos) computations per second. Today’s most effective supercomputers have actually only simply broken the exaFLOPS barrier, suggesting they can make simply over one quintillion (1 followed by 18 absolutely nos).
MEXT has actually reserved around ¥ 4.2 billion ($29 million) for the very first year of the task however might designate as much as ¥ 110 billion ($761 million) throughout the task, which is set up to be finished by 2030
