Fujitsu has received an order for its new supercomputer from the Supercomputing Division, Information Technology Center, of the University of Tokyo (SCD/ITC).

Fujitsu supercomputer PRIMEHPC FX10 will be used for the University of Tokyo’s new supercomputer system, which will have a theoretical computational speed of 1.13 petaflops, making the system one of the few petaflops-class center systems in the world.

The new supercomputer system will start operations in April 2012. It will be used to support SCD/ITC’s advanced research and educational activities in a variety of fields of science and technology, and is expected to be used by corporations as well.
