Abstract

The K computer is a distributed memory super-computer system consisting of more than 800 compute nodes which is being developed by RIKEN as a Japanese national project. Its performance is aimed at achieving 10 peta-flops sustained in the LINPACK benchmark. The system is under installation and adjustment. The whole system will be operational in 2012.
