24th June: Japan’s fastest supercomputer searches for the treatment of the deadly COVID-19. According to the report of Baaghi TV, Fugaku is the world’s fastest supercomputer developed in Japan that will identify potential treatments for the coronavirus. As per the Guardian, a Japanese supercomputer that has been named the world’s fastest is using its extraordinary capacity to identify potential treatments for the coronavirus. Japan this week regained the top spot for the first time since 2011, ending years of US and Chinese dominance on the TOP500 site, which tracks the evolution of computer processing power. COVID-19: Global death toll rises to 480,000 The supercomputer Fugaku can perform more than 415 quadrillion computations a second, 2.8 times faster than the Summit system developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US, which held the title when the twice-yearly rankings were last published in November. Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer is present at the Riken Center for Computational Science in Kobe, Hyogo prefecture. The Fugaku supercomputer, built with government backing and used in the fight against the COVID-19 coronavirus, is now ranked as the world’s fastest, its developers announced on June 22, 2020. Supercomputers, which are more than 1,000 times faster than a … Continue reading World’s fastest supercomputer searches for coronavirus treatment
