Munich, 13th August 2019 - Fujitsu is pushing the boundaries of high performance computing (HPC) with a newly-developed hardware cluster that will increase the pace of scientific research and lead to better and faster understanding of complex systems, such as weather forecasts. The platform’s groundbreaking computing performance has been successfully validated at EPCC, the University of Edinburgh’s supercomputing center, and handed over by Fujitsu for release to operations. Fujitsu created the prototype in a close co-creation process with hardware and software vendors, universities and research institutes as part of the NEXTGenIO research and development project funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 program.
