Canon is buying a supercomputer from Fujitsu that “will play a key role in contributing to Canon’s initiative of no-prototype product development, delivering enhanced capabilities and scope of applicability of analysis in Canon’s product development process.”
“With 192 nodes, the new supercomputer is expected to achieve a theoretical computational performance of 648.8 teraflops.”
“Canon hopes that upon completion, the supercomputer will play a key role in its “no-prototype” product development initiative, which is a company-wide plan to only build necessary prototypes and eliminate useless product prototyping through the use of testing virtualisation and simulation technology.”
Here are the details:
