ABCI will be an open innovation platform with computing resources of more than hundred petaflops for world-class AI R and D. Through industry and academia collaboration, Algorithms, Big Data, and Computing Power will be leveraged in a single common public platform.
ABCI will rapidly accelerate the deployment of AI into real businesses and society.
It will offer extreme computing power with more than hundred petaflops tailored for AI, ML (Machine Learning) and DL (Deep Learning)
With deployment planned for the AIST facility at the Kashiwa Campus of the University of Tokyo, the machine will be constrained by power and available space. The AIST design document calls for extreme energy efficiency in the 3 Megawatt machine with a PUE rating of 1.1. With additional budget, power, and space, Matsuoka claims the architecture could scale to 2 Exaflops at just 30 Megawatts.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has called for companies, bureaucrats and the political class to work more closely together so Japan can win in robotics, batteries, renewable energy and other new and growing markets.
