RIKEN: “Fugaku” World’s fastest for the second consecutive term: TOP500, HPCG, HPL-AI
-“Fugaku” measurement results TOP500-
The “Fugaku” system registered in the “TOP500” list this time has a configuration of 432 chassis (158,976 nodes).
Ranking index:
LINPACK performance is 442.01PFLOPS (petaflops)
Execution efficiency is 82.3%.
Results of this measurement:
415.53 PFLOPS at ISC2020 (June 2020),
The execution efficiency exceeded 80.87%.
As a result, “Fugaku” won the first place in the world for the second consecutive term.
As of November 2020: “TOP500” list
The second place in the world ranking is “Summit” in the United States.
The measurement result is 148.6PFLOPS.
In other words, this time, “Fugaku” has a performance difference of about 3 times that of the 2nd place.
Comparison with supercomputer “K computer”:
The measurement result of the supercomputer “K computer” was 10.51 PFLOPS (as of November 2011).
Achieved a performance improvement of 42 times or more compared to the “K computer”.

Japan’s Fugaku retains title as the world’s fastest supercomputer
The supercomputer Fugaku, which is being developed jointly by RIKEN and Fujitsu Limited based on Arm® technology,
has again taken the top spot on the major high-performance computer rankings, including the Top500 list, in all of the rankings posting much higher scores than the runners-up.
The other rankings are
HPCG, a ranking of supercomputers running real-world applications,
HPL-AI, which ranks supercomputers based on their performance capabilities for tasks typically used in artificial intelligence applications,
and Graph 500, which ranks systems based on data-intensive loads.
It also posted the highest score by far on the Graph 500 ranking.
The awards were announced on November 16 (Japan time) at the SC20 High-Performance Computing Conference, currently being held as an online event.
