The global supercomputer market is expected to grow from $8.55 billion in 2021 to $10.47 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.5%. It is projected to reach $21.07 billion in 2026. The North American region had the largest share of the global supercomputer market in 2021, and Asia Pacific is expected to experience the fastest growth over the forecast period of the next 5 years. 

Fujitsu, a pioneering Japanese tech company, is aiming to become the first domestic company to produce quantum computers starting in 2023, the next fiscal year in Japan. The company is leading the battle of digitalisation by maximizing the utilisation of data, for businesses and society. 

“Our future relies on our ability to unlock the power of data. By helping customers to manage digitized and integrate the ever-increasing amount of complex data in their business, Fujitsu is leading the quest to sort out important social issues.” 

-Hideto Okada, SVP, Head of Technology Strategy Unit at Fujitsu. 

Fujitsu has been dedicated to empowering its clients to achieve unlimited possibilities by presenting its ambitious solution portfolio with its integration capabilities and cutting-edge technologies: Fujitsu Uvance, a new business brand to respond to social issues, and CaaS, a cloud services portfolio to support Fujitsu Uvance. 

The company’s supercomputer is powered by the combination of ARM based architecture mashing with Linux support. As a result of solving various complicated problems, one of the notable examples is it has proved its capability to exploration into the molecular mechanisms of infection inhibition to battle COVID-19.

CEO of Fujitsu Research of America, Dr. Indradeep Ghosh introduces, “Fujitsu has implemented over 1,200 custom-developed supercomputing systems for our customers around the world.”

Fujitsu’s CaaS cloud service is an enterprise toolkit, that can provide its practical solution across industries. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry. Fujitsu collaborated with a pharmaceutical company PeptiDream for mid-molecular drug discovery joint research by implementing high-performance computing, Digital Annealer and artificial intelligence to accelerate the conformational search process for candidate compounds. 

Yet, Fujitsu never ceases its pace to achieve higher by exceeding the tech companies in the field of quantum space. Recently Fujitsu has established a partnership with Japan's largest comprehensive research institution, Riken. The high-performance CPUs Fujitsu developed are connected with the innovative Tofu Interconnect, achieving one of the highest energy efficiencies in the world. The quantum computers Fujitsu and Riken developed will have 64 qubits, pacesetting the Asian Pacific region. 

In terms of calculation speed, quantum computers are significantly faster than even supercomputers. Besides revolutionizing materials development, the commercial purpose of quantum computing is also expected to make manufacturers more competitive in fields such as chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles, which will hugely benefit societal development. 

With the effort Fujitsu made with its brand Fujitsu Uvance, it is now building new possibilities by connecting digital innovation and collaboration to create a more sustainable world where anyone can advance their dreams.
