- FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「In October 2024, the Company completed the installation of approximately 4,000 additional NVIDIA Hopper GPUs, expanding the total number of GPUs across its AI computing infrastructure to approximately 6,000. This delivered computing capacity of 4.7 EFLOPS (exaflops), approximately 7 times that of the AI computing infrastructure in operation since September 2023.」
The AI computing infrastructure was expanded to approximately 6,000 GPUs and 4.7 EFLOPS, marking a progression from research into ultra-distributed, next-generation computing infrastructure to the development of a large-scale production platform. It also achieved a pPUE of 1.03 using two-phase liquid cooling. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「In July 2023, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry certified this computing infrastructure as part of a supply assurance plan for cloud programs, a specified critical material under the Economic Security Promotion Act. The computing infrastructure will be one of the largest in Japan and consists of a large-scale cluster comprising an AI supercomputer, NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD™, equipped with more than 2,000 NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs, NVIDIA networking and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software.」
The ultra-distributed computing and next-generation computing infrastructure initiative progressed from research to the launch of one of Japan's largest computing platforms for generative AI, equipped with more than 2,000 NVIDIA GPUs. - FY2024-Q2AdvancedAnnual report
「To build next-generation social infrastructure, the Company is working with NVIDIA to develop distributed AI data centres and is working to provide computing infrastructure services needed for a future in which people and AI coexist.」
The initiative progressed from research into an ultra-distributed computing platform to the development of distributed AI data centres with NVIDIA and the provision of computing infrastructure services. - FY2023First statedAnnual report
「To realise an ultra-digital society, the Company began joint research with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology on an ultra-distributed computing platform that will underpin next-generation digital infrastructure.」
The Company began research with AIST on an ultra-distributed computing platform, with smart cities, drone delivery and logistics automation based on 5G and MEC in view.
