There are some coincidences that would have probably preferred to avoid. While Japan through the most serious nuclear crisis in its history (or even history), CEA (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique French) and AJEA (Japan Agency for Nuclear Energy), mandated by F4E, just select the builder of the future supercomputer for research into controlled nuclear fusion which will be located in Japan.
So the French computer group Bull will be responsible for providing the supercomputer with a power of 1.3 PFlops. Funded by Europe and Japan, relatively close to the Tera supercomputer-100 (1.25 PFlops) installed at the CEA is the third in a series bullx. It should be installed at the site of Rokkasho, on the northern tip of Honshu (the main Japanese).
The "modeling and simulations of the most advanced in the field of plasma and materials for controlled fusion" should begin in January 2012 according to Bull. Technically, the supercomputer will be built bullx meet Xeon 8820 and Sandy Bridge will feature over 280 TB of RAM. The storage system will achieve for its 5.7 ", a secondary storage system 50 inch is also planned.
This issue devoted to the calculations will be completed by 36 bullx System Series S Series system and 38 R for cluster administration, management, file systems and user access. Pre / post processing and visualization of results will in turn assigned to 32 systems bullx R series graphics cards equipped with "high performance".
The whole work (obviously?) Under bullx Supercomputer Suite Advanced Edition, an operating system based on Linux. The installation of the supercomputer at Rokkasho begin as early as June.
