Fujitsu, the world's fastest SPARC64 CPU "SPARC64 VIIIfx"

Slashdot It! Fujitsu, May 14, 15, two days have been held at Tokyo International Forum in Yurakucho, "Fujitsu Forum 2009" at the world's fastest CPU is being developed to refer to the exhibit. Development code name "Venus (Venus)" "SPARC64 VIIIfx" So the speed of floating point calculations 128GFLOPS. 45nm production process is about 2cm in the number of cores integrated on the die angle, around for quite a conventional 4 to 8 and the speed to increase.MERUMORIKONTORORA and also has a memory chip. According to the company's current Intel-made CPU and about 2.5 times the high-speed operation and power consumption is less that one-third. Year 2008 the company shipped about SPARC64 VII than three times the relative performance. The world's fastest CPU was developed by Fujitsu, the CPU vector VPP5000 since it's about 10 years. The test chips on 300mm wafers SPARC64 SPARC64 VIIIfx image of SPARC64 VIIIfx in comparison with current and SPARC64 VII Fujitsu Forum 2009 at the exhibit and future technology "to support technical computing science", "Challenges to the Dream Project," an exhibition of 300mm wafer chip testing. "Space weather, astronomy, science and protecting the global environment of advanced technology to support a project aimed at building future dreams are rich" are introduced. Is expected to deliver a next-generation supercomputer, the environment, weather, transportation, chemical, medical, and will be used in areas such as space. Inoue Aiitirou head of Fujitsu's next-generation TEKUNIKARUKONPYUTINGU Development Division, "the current JAXA SPARC64 VII with (JAXA) in supercomputers running FX1, the world's execution efficiency and 91.2% also achieved the world record time of 60 hours run. 12,000 parallel cores, running on high performance and reliability. SPARC64 VII are generic, 40GFOPS have realized, this will further develop and strengthen the capacity of the floating-point operations for supercomputers, SPARC64 VIIIfx be. As well as high-speed processing, high throughput device to make the most of it has evolved in the lower power consumption. The FX1 JAXA, Japan's performance in the world ranked No 17.In the meantime, the supercomputer is Japan's second billing to the worship, by utilizing the CPU, you can dramatically develop the world's fastest supercomputer, the Community global be. To regain its position as the fastest in the world do. " SPARC64 VIIIfx Basic Overview SPARC64 VIIIfx with the system board. Four-node, and only realized it 512GFLOPS. The system board has a 24 rack units enter Head of Fujitsu's next-generation TEKUNIKARUKONPYUTINGU Inoue Aiitirou Development Division Get Daily Updates via Email Protect your computer with Windows Onecare
