It delivers world-leading low power consumption leading to a performance rating of 2.2 gigaflops per watt. Such CPU technology makes it possible to build the Next-Generation Supercomputer of unprecedented scale.

THE INTERCONNECT & HIGH DENSITY PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY (necessary for such ultra-scale system)

For Japan’s Next -Generation Supercomputer, Fujitsu

developed the Interconnect, capable of connecting over 80,000 processors together.

It has an innovative design based on a 6 dimensional

mesh/torus connection method.

The interconnect delivers high scalability necessary when constructing mega-scale systems plus functions for effective system use. This includes the flexible allocation of application processes to groups of processors.

System board (prototype)

Operationally, the interconnect achieves high-efficiency

and availability even if a part of the system should fail. The fault can be bypassed allowing system operation to continue without halt.

The liquid cooling used on the main heat components such as processors and interconnect chips, has lead to high density packaging and even longer lifetime of components.

The result is an extremely low failure rate which is crucial for peta-scale systems containing a huge numbers of parts.
