FP8, a milestone that would make it the world\u2019s first zetta-class (10\u00b2\u00b9) supercomputer. Compared to Fugaku, the new system will offer an overall performance improvement of more than 100x, thanks to:<\/p>\n<p>a hardware increase of approximately 5xsoftware optimizations ranging from 10x to 20x<\/p>\n<p>All this while maintaining energy efficiency unchanged, with an estimated consumption of 40 MW.<\/p>\n<p>Architecture and key technologiesFujitsu MONAKA-X CPU: successor to the MONAKA CPU, currently in development.Nvidia GPU accelerators: with NVLink Fusion interconnect for high-bandwidth communication between CPU and GPU.Memory and Advanced connectivity: designed to build a hybrid AI-HPC platform, capable of combining scientific simulation and artificial intelligence.A supercomputer at the service of science<\/p>\n<p>FugakuNEXT will be based on the \u201cAI for Science\u201d platform, designed to automate and accelerate complex research processes.
