Prof. Fujisawa’s research team achieved the 1st position in the world in the Graph 500 benchmark using supercomputer “Fugaku”

The 20th Graph500 list (BFS) was announced by the Graph500 Committee on June 22 (June 22, Japan time) at the same time as the international conference “ISC2020” on HPC (High-Performance Computing). Prof. Fujisawa’s research team achieved the 1st position in the world in the Graph 500 benchmark using supercomputer “Fugaku” at Riken. In 2014 to 2019, his project team was a winner of the 9th and 10th to 18th Graph500 Benchmark using the supercomputer “K” at Riken. The performance of large-scale graph analysis is an essential index in the study of big data that requires massive and complex data processing. It has been proved that “Fugaku” has much higher performance than “K”.
