Linaro Connect San Diego 2019

Fugaku is the flagship next generation national supercomputer being
developed by Riken R-CCS and Fujitsu in collaboration. Fugaku will have
hyperscale datacenter class resource in a single exascale machine, with more
than 150,000 nodes of sever-class Fujitsu A64fx many-core Arm CPUs with
the new SVE (Scalable Vector Extension) with low precision math for the
first time in the world, accelerating both HPC and AI workloads,
augmented with HBM2 memory paired with each CPU, exhibiting nearly a
Terabyte/s memory bandwidth for both HPC and AI rapid data movements.
A64fx has demonstrated up to 8 times the performance of mainstream
"Platinum" server processors for HPC workloads, and this game-changing
performance has been realized through
extensive co-design process involving the entire Japanese HPC community
resulting in a highly HPC-optimzed CPU architecture.
Fugaku also will likely to be the premier big data and AI/ML
infrastructure; currently, we are conducting research to scale deep
learning to more than 100,000 nodes on Fugaku, where we expect to obtain
near top GPU-class performance on each node. The talk will give an
overview of A64fx/Fugaku as well as cover some of the software ecosystem
efforts to enable high-end HPC / BD / AI.
