Fujitsu awarded contract to design next-generation supercomputer FugakuNEXT

Summary

Fujitsu Limited has been awarded a contract by RIKEN to design the next-generation supercomputer, provisionally named “FugakuNEXT.” This initiative aims to support advancements in scientific research and technology in Japan.

The contract covers the overall system design, computing nodes, and Central Processing Unit (CPU) components, with the basic design phase scheduled to complete by February 27, 2026. The development comes amid rising demand for large-scale computing resources driven by generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other technologies.

FugakuNEXT will utilize Fujitsu's expertise in supercomputing and incorporate technologies from the FUJITSU-MONAKA3 CPU currently under development, facilitating integration with GPUs and accelerators. This project is part of Japan's strategy to strengthen its computing infrastructure, particularly as AI integration in scientific research gains importance.

The FUJITSU-MONAKA CPU will use advanced 2-nanometer technology and innovative designs aimed at enhancing performance and power efficiency across various applications. Designed for scalability and adaptability, the successor CPU, named “FUJITSU-MONAKA-X,” will support emerging AI capabilities, reflecting a commitment to meet evolving needs in both industry and society.

With this contract, Fujitsu aims to reinforce its role in establishing a robust computing infrastructure that advances Japan's position in global science and technology.
