RIKEN, Fujitsu, Argonne, and Nvidia: a strategic partnership

Japan's RIKEN research institute and Fujitsu are joining forces with the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in the United States and Nvidia to build and operate advanced computing infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC).

This joint project is part of the "Genesis Mission", an initiative promoted by former US President Donald Trump, aimed at strengthening technological leadership in the supercomputing sector.

Objectives and implications

The collaboration aims to develop next-generation computing systems capable of addressing the most complex challenges in the scientific and industrial fields. The integration of the expertise of RIKEN, Fujitsu, Argonne and Nvidia promises to accelerate innovation in key sectors such as materials research, drug discovery and climate modeling.
