In this session, we present the new generation of Fujitsu servers based on the FUJITSU-MONAKA processor, a next-generation Arm-based processor planned for 2027. It is designed to address the challenges of future data centers, building on Fujitsu’s experience in supercomputing (K computer and Fugaku) and leveraging advanced semiconductor technology.
With up to 144 Armv9-A cores per chip (up to 288 in dual-socket configurations), a 3D chiplet architecture, support for DDR5 memory, PCIe 6.0 with CXL 3.0, and SVE2 vector extensions, FUJITSU-MONAKA is designed for AI and HPC workloads and aims to deliver high compute density.
Its key differentiator is sustainability: Fujitsu aims to significantly improve energy efficiency compared to current mainstream architectures while maintaining air cooling, helping to reduce TCO and enable a more sustainable AI/HPC infrastructure.
FUJITSU-MONAKA is designed to operate within an open Linux ecosystem, with planned support for industry-standard distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Fujitsu and Red Hat have maintained a long-standing global collaboration since 2003, working together on the development, optimization, and support of enterprise Linux solutions for mission-critical and high-performance computing environments.
This collaboration includes joint efforts in software development, system integration, and lifecycle support, ensuring that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is optimized for Fujitsu platforms across a wide range of workloads. In the HPC domain, Red Hat Enterprise Linux has also been adopted in Fujitsu-based systems, enabling a flexible and open software environment that supports a broad ecosystem of applications and tools.
These technologies applied to FUJITSU-MONAKA are based on results obtained from a project subsidized by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
