Video: Fujitsu Post-K Supercomputer to feature World’s Fastest Arm Processor
January 2, 2019 by
In this video, Nicolas Charbonnier from ArmDevices.net interviews Fujitsu engineers working on the Post-K supercomputer in Japan. Based on the Arm-based A64FX from Fujitsu, the Post-K supercomputer will likely be the fastest system in the world when in debuts in 2021. ‘Fujitsu A64FX is the new fastest Arm processor in the world, built on 7nm it has 2.7 TFLOPS performance per chip suitable for high-end HPC and AI, they aim to create with it the world’s fastest supercomputer with it by 2021.”
Fujitsu Unveils Details on Post-K Supercomputer Processor Powered by ARM
August 22, 2018 by
Today Fujitsu published specifications for the A64FX CPU to be featured in the post-K computer, a future machine designed to be 100 times faster than the legendary K computer that dominated the TOP500 for years. “A64FX is the world’s first CPU to adopt the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE), an extension of Armv8-A instruction set architecture for supercomputers. Building on over 60 years’ worth of Fujitsu-developed microarchitecture, this chip offers peak performance of over 2.7 TFLOPS, demonstrating superior HPC and AI performance.”
