Fugaku and its Future, AI and Quantum

In recent years, Japan has made significant strides in the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC), with the development of Fugaku, currently tone of the world's fastest supercomputer, and the High-Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI), a nationwide network of supercomputers. In this talk, we will provide an update on the latest status of Japanese supercomputing, including Fugaku and HPCI, and highlight some of the recent achievements and new developments in the field. One of the most exciting developments in Japanese HPC is the recent launch of a 64-qubit quantum computer developed at Riken, which has the potential to revolutionize computation in fields such as cryptography, drug discovery, and materials science. We will discuss the significance of this achievement and its potential applications.Another key focus of Japanese HPC is the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in scientific research. With the establishment of the GPT Fugaku initiative, which aims to develop a world-leading AI platform for scientific research, the AI-for-science agenda has become a priority in Japan. We will discuss the progress made in this area and the potential impact it could have on a wide range of scientific fields. We will also update on the status of FugakuNEXT, successor to Fugaku towards 2029-2030 deployment.
