The RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) has completed the installation and initiated the operational launch of its new supercomputer, “ROQUO,” at its campus in Kobe, Japan. Developed under a project commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), the system serves as the high-performance computing (HPC) backbone for Japan’s national hybrid computing initiative. The platform is designed to establish a unified infrastructure that seamlessly bridges classical supercomputing acceleration with physical quantum processors, addressing advanced computational workloads that cannot be resolved by traditional architectures alone. The system’s technical architecture consists of 135 compute nodes equipped with the NVIDIA [...]

RIKEN launched the ROQUO supercomputer to support quantum-HPC integration and advance hybrid computing research in Japan.
