A hybrid quantum-classical supercomputer dubbed Roquo has been installed at the Riken Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) in Kobe, Japan.
Named after Mount Rokko, the system was introduced as part of a JHPC-quantum project and commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Japan’s largest public funding and management organization.

Giga Computing Technology was responsible for the design and manufacture of the compute nodes, while DataDirect Networks provided the high-speed file system. ScaleWorX oversaw the system integration.
Roquo provides 19.8 petaflops of compute performance and is among the first systems globally to adopt Nvidia’s GB200 NVL4, a configuration designed specifically for high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
