A supercomputer being produced by Fujitsu at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science campus in Kobe, Japan In June 2011, It is expected to become fully operational in November 2012.
it is located at bulding of RIKEN campus is shown below image.
RIKEN reported that K had become the first supercomputer to exceed 10 petaflops, achieving a LINPACK performance of 10.51 quadrillion computations per second.
As of the November 2011 TOP500 list,
it uses 68,544 2.0GHz 8-core SPARC64 VIIIfx processors packed in 672 cabinets,
for a total of 548,352 cores,
manufactured by Fujitsu with 45 nm CMOS process technology.
Each cabinet contains 96 compute nodes in addition to 6 IO nodes. Each compute node contains a single processor and 16 GB of memory.
the K computer's performance equals "one million linked desktop computers"
The computer's annual running costs are estimated at US$10 million.
The system is still under construction and is scheduled to enter full service in November 2012 with 864 cabinets.
