Speed up your High Performance Computing

High Performance Computing (HPC) utilizes supercomputers to perform large-scale computations such as computer simulation.

The history of supercomputers is long, and has evolved greatly since "CDC 6600" designed by Seymour Clay, called "The Father of Supercomputing" appeared in 1964. As well as improving the performance of devices by miniaturizing and architecture improvement, its computing power has dramatically improved through large-scale parallelization and software optimization.

Meanwhile, the increase in power consumption accompanying the increase in computing power and the expansion of the application fields of supercomputers, a different view point is required to improve performance compared to past performance improvements. Japanese companies and research institutes are at the forefront of driving evolution of supercomputers. In "Top 500" supercomputers competing for the calculation performance per power consumption, Japanese companies dominated the top rank. "Top 500" supercomputers competing for performance on big data processing, the supercomputer "K" gained first place for the sixth consecutive term. Japanese companies and research institutions are demonstrating their competitive edge.
