#Japan’s #Fugaku #supercomputer follow-up adds #Nvidia #GPU
Fugaku machine is still in 7th place, but #RIKEN wants an upgrade and has already awarded a contract to F#ujitsu to build its successor and the custom #Arm-based #CPU called “#MONAKAX” that will power it.
On Friday, the institution announced a change to its plan for #FugakuNEXT: Adding Nvidia GPUs, and contracting the #AI hardware giant to design systems that incorporate its accelerators into the supercomputer.

#Japan's sequel to #Fugaku #supercomputer will be Arm'd to the teeth
#Fujitsu picked to build system using '#MONAKAX' #CPU
According to the IT giant, Japan's High-Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI) Program Steering Committee has chosen the #RIKEN research institute as the primary entity responsible for developing the nation's next-gen flagship super, which in turn has awarded Fujitsu the contract to design it.
