Toyota Introduces Fujitsu Supercomputer System
March 15, 2000 (TOKYO) -- Toyota Motor Corp. introduced one of the world's largest supercomputer systems that has ever been implemented in a private business.




The full-scale operation of the system will start in March.

Toyota's choice is the VPP5000 vector supercomputer manufactured by Fujitsu Ltd. It is configured with 30 processor elements that can perform maximum logical operations of 288 Giga floating point instructions per second (FLOPS). The machine is equipped with 320GB of main memory.

Toyota so far has used the CRAY Y-MP vector supercomputer from Cray Research Inc. of the United States for analyzing collision and vibration, and also the VPP300 vector supercomputer of Fujitsu for fluid dynamics and pressing-mold analyses.

Tasks of those analyses are shifted to the VPP5000 computer. The total amount of the company's investment was not announced.
