Today, Supercomputer Fugaku, jointly developed by RIKEN and Fujitsu, once again reaffirmed its title as a global leader in high-performance computing by placing first in the Graph500 rankings for the 11 th time in a row.
The announcement was made in ISC High Performance 2025, currently taking place in Hamburg, Germany. The 11 th uninterrupted win for Fugaku in the Graph500, which assesses systems by their graph analytic performance – a key benchmark for data-intensive workloads – highlights its unrivalled performance in handling big and intricate datasets.
This 11 th win was awarded for a score of 204.068 TeraTEPS Traversed Edges Per Second utilizing 152,064 of its nodes. No other system has ever crossed the 200 TeraTEPS in the Graph500, so this result signifies a major improvement in large-scale graph analysis. This success was enabled by optimization efforts from an investigation network headed by RIKEN, Institute of Science Tokyo, Fixstars Corporation, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, and Fujitsu.
The group’s constant algorithm optimization and system-level advances, such as groundbreaking graph data reduction technology, have made a significant impact on Fugaku’s efficiency. The algorithms enabled Fugaku to master the “SCALE 43” size graphs, which encompass about 8.8 trillion vertices and 140.7 trillion edges, a job that was previously impossible due to memory limitations.
Aside from the Graph500, Fugaku also stood out in other significant benchmarks: it was second in the HPCG benchmark, seventh in the TOP500, and sixth in the HPL-MxP. Since its trail utilization started in April 2020 and shared use in March 2021, Fugaku has been instrumental in services ranging from life sciences and disaster prevention , energy to manufacturing, basic science, and much more.
Additionally, the technology will have a lasting impact on future innovations, as Fujitsu has been vigorously constructing a computer processor named FUJITSU-MONAKA, which is meant to be a high-performance, power-efficient, and simple-to-use Arm architecture CPU.
Fugaku’s latest win in the Graph500 demonstrates the supercomputing’s importance in driving analysis and making significant contributions to a slew of real-life scenarios that are reliant on the fast evaluation of enormous interconnected data. Fugaku’s continued success has ensured a high benchmark for supercomputer performance worldwide.
