Fugaku supercomputer goes on show in Japan(1/3)

A developing supercomputer "Fugaku" is opened to the media at RIKEN Center for Computational Sciences (R-CCS) in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture on June 16, 2020. Aiming for full-scale operation in 2021, it has already begun trial use for research related to new coronavirus COVID-19. FUGAKU is a large device which was carried by 72 10-ton trucks, and the calculation speed is expected to increase about 100 times that of the previous model “KEI.” (Photo/IC)
