「富岳」２部門で７連覇　スパコン世界ランキング―理研

　年２回更新されるスーパーコンピューターの計算速度世界ランキングが２２日発表され、理化学研究所や富士通が開発した「富岳」（神戸市）が、産業利用などで実際に用いられる演算能力を測る「ＨＰＣＧ」など２部門で、２０２０年６月の初登場から７期連続の１位を獲得した。
　２１年１１月まで４期連続世界一だった「ＴＯＰ５００」部門では３期連続の２位。人工知能（ＡＩ）の深層学習などで使われる演算能力を競う「ＨＰＬ―ＭｘＰ」部門は３位だった。（2023/05/22-16:09）

Japan's Fugaku was the world's most powerful supercomputer in two biannual global rankings for the seventh consecutive time, according to the latest updates released on Monday.
   Since its debut in June 2020, the supercomputer, which was jointly developed by government-affiliated research institute Riken and Fujitsu Ltd., has held the top spot in the High Performance Conjugate Gradients ranking, which measures industrial computing power, and the Graph500 ranking.
   Meanwhile, Fugaku remained second in the TOP500 ranking, which it had topped four times in a row through November 2021.
   It came third in HPL-MxP, which focuses on computing performance in deep learning for artificial intelligence.
   Fugaku was developed as the successor to the K supercomputer. Since becoming fully operational in March 2021, it has been used to develope COVID-19 treatments, simulate the spread of airborne droplets and forecast sudden heavy rain.
