Fujitsu Research News Update - November 2024
#1 World HPCG and Graph500 Ranking for Supercomputer Fugaku - for 10th consecutive time
RIKEN and Fujitsu's jointly developed supercomputer Fugaku has once again successfully retained the top spot for 10 consecutive terms in two major high-performance computer rankings, HPCG and Graph500 BFS (Breadth-First Search). It has also taken sixth place for the TOP500 and fourth place for the HPL-MxP rankings. The rankings results were announced on November 19 at SC24 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
The top ranking on Graph500 was won by a collaboration involving RIKEN, Institute of Science Tokyo, Fixstars Corporation, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, and Fujitsu. It earned a score of 204.068 TeraTEPS with Fugaku's 152,064 nodes, an improvement of 38.038 TeraTEPS in performance from the previous measurement. This is the first time that a score of over 200 TeraTEPS has been recorded on the Graph500 benchmark.
Based on the superior technology that made Fugaku possible, Fujitsu is developing FUJITSU-MONAKA, an Arm architecture CPU that achieves high performance, power efficiency, reliability, and ease of use. Find out more here
Presenting Fujitsu's Research - On the World Stage
This month, we spotlight three major international events where the Fujitsu Research team have presented the results of our cutting-edge R&D, focused on solving important challenges in our quest to support the creation of a more prosperous society connected by trust.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) hosted a webinar with WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development to discuss public-private partnership models for ZEV adoption in Southeast Asia & the Pacific. Fujitsu Research of Europe’s Senior Director Makiko Hisatomi presented our ongoing work in India to demonstrate the value of digital collaboration, as part of Zero-emission vehicle Emerging Markets Initiatives.
She outlined the pilot study undertaken by Fujitsu under the ZEV-EMI and the important results of simulating different scenarios - identifying 48 optimal charging locations and demonstrating that optimizing EV charging infrastructure planning can result in 13% reduction in fuel costs, 70% reduction in charging time, 5% increase in fleet operational time and 60% reduction in CO2 emission.
At the recent 2024 7th IEEE Conference on Dependable and Secure Computing (IEEE DSC - https://lnkd.in/gypkqtJA), hosted by Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), the Fujitsu Research of Europe team was proud to represent our latest cutting-edge research into modern generative AI for cyber security applications.
Ofir Manor אופיר מנור from Fujitsu Research of Europe – Israel presented a paper from the Advanced Cyber Security (ACS) team as part of the Machine Learning and AI in Cybersecurity session, involving inputs from across Fujitsu Research in Israel, the UK, and Japan. Titled ‘Fine-Tuning Large Language Models for Network Traffic Analysis in Cyber Security’, the paper discusses the use of fine-tuning to assist LLMs in analysing and understanding the technical text.
Fujitsu's Winnie Tsou delivered a captivating keynote, sharing Fujitsu’s forward-looking initiatives and exploring how Fujitsu is pioneering sustainable AI, focusing on real-world applications that address pressing environmental challenges. The event brought together industry experts and changemakers in Silicon Valley.

Technology Insights: Fujitsu Knowledge Graph enhanced RAG
Fujitsu has been focusing on taking the concept of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) a step further, significantly extending RAG's abilities to handle large amounts of data within an enterprise. With the development of the Fujitsu Knowledge Graph enhanced RAG (KG enhanced RAG) technology, we have overcome RAG's limitation of not being able to reference large-scale data accurately.
KG enhanced RAG can expand the amount of data that can be referred to by LLM from hundreds of thousands to more than 10 million tokens. It does this by developing existing RAG technology and automatically creating a knowledge graph that structures a huge amount of data such as corporate regulations, laws, manuals, and videos owned by companies.
Explore our new series of Tech Blogs, detailing our latest KG advanced RAG technology offerings!
