"Just building this 160,000-node machine is far from sufficient. The value of Fugaku is not only the hardware, but also the software solutions including the applications," said RIKEN director, Satoshi Matsuoka. "We've injected this supercomputing environment directly into the cloud to extend applications and have much larger impact than in a single machine."
The Fugaku software stack, available in a Virtual Fugaku form, consists of open-source software optimized for the supercomputer and distributed via a Singularity container image. Users can now construct their private Fugaku environment on AWS.
RIKEN's Virtual Fugaku uses Graviton processors with Arm architecture, similar to Fugaku's Fujitsu A64FX processor, both employing Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) instructions for enhanced performance in number crunching tasks.
The vision for Virtual Fugaku is to create a global ecosystem of high-performance computing instances, furthering the impact and legacy of the original Fugaku supercomputer, according to RIKEN officials.
