The next generation of supercomputers under construction in Japan

The Japanese Institute of Physics and Chemistry 3rd first briefed the media on the development of the next generation of http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13840.html "> Supercomputer--" universal Beijing speed computer.

Comprehensive Japanese media reports, "Universal Beijing-Speed computer" built in the Kobe Harbor artificial island. At present, 1-storey computer building on the ground floor 3 floors, the heat source mechanical building of large circulation equipment for cooling water and air of super computer, and more than 100 researchers resident research building have completed about 80%. It is expected that the entire construction project of the "Universal Beijing Speed Computer" will be completed in June 2012.

According to the introduction, the computer building used to place a supercomputer 3 floor area of about 2800 square meters, the entire 3 floor without a pillar, it is said that this can make the arrangement of computers more efficient, help improve the speed of operation.

In 2006, the Japanese government's comprehensive Science and Technology conference, in accordance with the basic science and Technology plan, designated the "Universal Jing-speed computer" as one of the main basic technologies of the country, and started the research and development work based on the next generation supercomputer development and implementation headquarters of the Physics and Chemistry Institute. As the next supercomputer, the "Universal speed computer" can carry out 1 Beijing (10000 trillion) floating-point operations per second, and will be applied to the Earth environment and disaster prediction, new semiconductor materials and new drug research and development fields.
