Record Notes
Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology is rolling out the ABCI-3 platform at its Tsukuba campus to meet surging demand for generative AI. Built on HPE Cray XD systems with NVIDIA H200 GPUs and Quantum-2 InfiniBand, the infrastructure will deliver roughly 6.2 exaFLOPS of FP16 performance—making it the country's fastest AI supercomputer when fully commissioned. ABCI-3 is offered as a cloud resource for industry, academia, and government, pairing high-density liquid cooling with efficient grid power to expand Japan's sovereign AI capacity.
