Fujitsu delivers parallel scalar supercomputer system to National Aerospace LaboratoryTokyo 22 October 2002 Fujitsu has delivered a parallel scalar supercomputer system to the National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan (NAL).
The New NS System is one of the fastest supercomputers ever deployed in Japan. It interconnects 14 PRIMEPOWER computers, each of which is equipped with 128 CPUs, and outperforms its predecessor by a factor of more than 30 to achieve a computing performance of 9 Tflop/s.
The supercomputer also offers 3 TByte of main memory, over 80 times larger than that of its predecessor, a numeric wind tunnel distributed vector supercomputer previously developed by Fujitsu and NAL. The new system will play an important role as an application centre of the IT-based laboratory where NAL will develop multi-sector integration simulation technologies, and will work as a computing core for development of new airframes.
