Climate and Weather

Climate and Weather

Climate change and weather phenomenas are a real and imminent threat. Predictions have become more important than ever. They not only have to be more accurate but also has to be simulated faster so that in cases of danger (storms, floods, freezing rain, etc.) there could be warnings as fast as possible to give the people enough time to prepare or in worst cases evacuate.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence

Machine Learning and Deep Learning have been used to empower business, research, and development competitiveness. These methods make suggestions and even decisions by processing huge amounts of data, therefore typical HPC capabilities are needed to get results faster, to handle larger data sets, and to produce results that are more accurate.

Vector Technology

The NEC Vector Engine Processor was developed using 16 nm FinFET process technology for extreme high performance and low power consumption. The Vector Engine Processor had the world's first implementation of one processor with six HBM2 memory modules using Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate technology, leading to an outstanding memory bandwidth of 1.35 TB/s at that time.
