Riken and Fujitsu are working together on developing superconducting quantum computers. The partners plan to produce a computer with 1,000 quantum bits.
The biannual Top500 survey of the world's supercomputers reveals the fastest system now is Fugaku in Kobe, Japan, built by Fujitsu and Riken. The supercomputing system is built around Fujitsu's 48-core A64FX system-on-a-chip device, designed with Arm cores.
Sysmex has teamed up with Riken Innovation to create diagnostic businesses and technologies for diseases without established diagnostic methods. Cross-disciplinary research results will be provided by Riken, while diagnostic research and development skills will be contributed by Sysmex.
Fujitsu collaborated with Japan's Riken Center for Computational Science to design an Arm-based supercomputer processor that Riken will use for a supercomputing system in 2021. The 512-bit CPUs include the ARMv8-A scalable vector extension instruction set architecture.
