Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company Fujitsu has completed construction of the new supercomputer for the Supercomputing Division of the University of Tokyo’s Information Technology Center (SCD/ITC).
The new Oakleaf-FX system employs Fujitsu’s PRIMEHPC FX10 supercomputer, the petaflops-class systems that deliver improved efficiency, as low as 1.4MW for overall system power consumption.
The new system will be used in High-Performance Computing (HPC) education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, helping organisations in the field of computational science.
SCD/ITC has selected PRIMEHPC FX10 as it delivers enhanced energy-efficiency performance and meets the University’s requirement for system-wide power consumption of 1.4MW or less.
Oakleaf-FX system’s calculation nodes use a PRIMEHPC FX10 configuration comprised of 4,800 nodes (50 racks) and the system enhances Fujitsu’s technology used in the K computer. It includes theoretical peak performance 1.13 petaflops and memory capacity 150TB.
The supercomputer’s peripherals include a 74 PRIMERGY x86 servers, 234 ETERNUS storage systems, Technical Computing Suite, which is HPC middleware for peta-scale systems and FEFS, a distributed file system that is a component of the Technical Computing Suite.
