The New Fujitsu Supercomputer Processing

The new supercomputer Fujitsu 23.2 petaflops of processing. The petaflops are just as supercomputers used in the acronym comes from Floating Point Operations Per Second or it means the number of operations you can perform that computer. So last week the company in cooperation with the Fujitsu Research Laboratory reported that the supercomputer Reiker K is the first in the list of top 500 fastest computers and powerful in the world.

This broke his own record label processing from the operations or 10 quadrillion calculations per second. Today the company announced a new supercomputer that is able to break the same record again this is referred to as PRIMEHPC FX10. The exact brand supercomputer was 10.51 K arrived but the new computer petaflops PRIMEHPC gets called at least theoretically reach up to 23.2 petaflops of processing.

So the new computer just is not in the list of world’s fastest supercomputers because first of all must pass through a official benchmark used in all computers that are there. So if the new model at least get to have a greater than 10.51 petaflops processing and be the first listing does not achieve more than what the company claims that this gets. Fujitsu and still found that the manufacturer intends to begin marketing units K has 854 racks and uses more than 88,000 different processors also during this year.

For its part, the sales start PRIMEHPC 1024 FX10 has racks and more than 98,000 processors will happen in January next year and the company plans to sell fifty of them over the next three years. Next to the manufacturer FX10 PRIMEHPC Fujitsu also launched a new processor responsible for the incredible power that it presents. Dubbed IXfx Sparc64 it has 16 different cores with up to 236 gigaflops capabilities and operates at 1.86 GHz clock.

For its part also in the world of super processing company to create the first supercomputer solid state memory, and researchers at the University of California announced the planned construction of the first supercomputer capable of storing files via solid memories. The name of the supercomputer is Gordon and the SSD memory used for storing data, which will certainly not few.

In laptops, it’s almost total domination of the SSD memory but this is the first time it is placed into a supercomputer. Which prevented its use was short-lived in a common SSD are supported 3,000 cycles of records. The supercomputer was born through an award of $ 20 million from the National Science Foundation directed to the university. The forecast for the start of operation of Gordon is January 2012.
