Japanese company "Fujitsu" announced that its range of products will soon offer the "supercomputer" whose speed strongest configuration version could theoretically is 23.2 petaflopsi.
The company expects over the next three years to sell 50 such systems, which are called Prime XPC FX10.
This computer is a blend of high performance and scalability, excellent stability and superior energy efficiency, said in a statement "Fujitsu."
The computer is made of components developed in the research center "Fujitsu" which, according to the company ensures high reliability and excellent operating characteristics.
The system can be stronger depending on the needs of each specific user and can meet the many challenges of modern life, such as development of new drugs, preventive response to natural disasters or establish a more secure and safer societies.
PrimeXPC FX 10 can be used for cutting-edge scientific research and development and production of new materials without having to produce prototypes, because it can be carried out computer simulations with a wide field of application.
The strongest configuration of this computer has 98,304 nodes, which accounted for 1,024 server shelves and the minimum configuration has four shelves with 384 nodes.
Memory of this computer is six petabytes and it is newly developed embedded processor SPARC 64 IXfx with 16 cores operating at 1.848 GHz.
The computer used method of water cooling, which together with the efficient design offers the opportunity to extract maximum performance utilizing watt power, each node reaches a processing speed of 236.5 gigaflopsi and consumption of one watt every two gigaflopsi.
