| 02:10PM – 02:30PM | FugakuNEXT Project for Pioneering the Post-Exascale Supercomputing Era
The demand for high-performance computing continues to grow, serving as a vital foundation for both scientific research and AI. As we move beyond the exascale era, developing next-generation supercomputing systems is essential to establish a new computing infrastructure for these fields. RIKEN has been selected as the lead institution to develop Japan’s next national flagship supercomputer, the successor to Fugaku. In January 2025, we officially launched the FugakuNEXT project to develop and deploy this new system, aiming to achieve world-class performance in both simulation and AI. In this talk, we provide an overview of the FugakuNEXT project. – Dr Masaaki Kondo, Team Leader, RIKEN Center for Computational Science |
| 02:30PM – 02:50PM | Quantum computers accelerating supercomputing workflows Quantum computers (QC) can significantly enhance high-performance computing (HPC) as accelerators with unique capabilities for solving challenging chemistry, materials science, and optimization problems. Hybrid HPC+QC system offers unique advantages that neither classical nor quantum simulations can achieve independently. Our collaboration between IQM, a leading quantum hardware company, and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), a premier HPC center, has demonstrated practical integration of quantum and classical resources. In this talk, we discuss how researchers from University College London, were able to conduct multiscale molecular simulation, where Quantum-Selected Configuration Interaction (QSCI) is employed to investigate proton transfer in interacting water molecules. We present the details of our technical implementation, including hardware and software requirements, networking and selection of the appropriate space to house the quantum computer. We also discuss how QC can be integrated with minimal disruption into HPC workflows and the benefits of on-prem QC. Keywords: Hybrid HPC+QC computing, Quantum-Selected Configuration Interaction (QSCI), multiscale molecular simulation, proton transfer, high-performance computing, quantum computing, integration, scalability. – Mr Hermanni Heimonen, Head of Product, IQM Quantum Computers |
