The supercomputer "K computer" in the RIKEN Center for Computational Science, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, has been ranked in the international performance ranking "Graph 500" for large-scale graph analysis to process a large amount of data and extract useful data for three consecutive terms. Won the 3st place of.In total, it will be the 1th time to win 4st place.
Kyo was developed by RIKEN and Fujitsu (President Tatsuya Tanaka, Tokyo), a comprehensive electronics manufacturer, as part of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's next-generation supercomputer project.
Graph 500, a group of experts from around the world, publishes a ranking of large-scale graph analysis semi-annually, and started in 1.Compete for the performance of large-scale graph analysis that shows the relationship between data such as reading data stored in memory and who is connected to social services.
This time, the results of analysis conducted by RIKEN, Kyushu University, Tokyo Institute of Technology and other international collaborative research groups using the K computer won the crown, with the new Chinese model "Sunway TaihuLight" in second place and Lawrence Livermore in the United States. "Secoia" of the laboratory has entered.
In the "Top 1", which evaluates supercomputers based on the computational speed of solving simultaneous linear equations, Kyo won first place twice in 500, but this time it is fifth place.China's new model "Sunway TaihuLight" made its debut in the ranking and took the lead by hitting a calculation speed about 2011 times faster than Kyo, but Kyo maintained the number one position in the large-scale graph analysis and kept its face.
