2017 TGG Forum: Ultra-high-density 60KW per rack cloud IDC implementation at ABCI, an advanced AI infrastructure aiming for petaflops (Japanese)

Data centers are undergoing a major transformation. Traditional data centers had infrastructure costs centered on buildings rather than machines, and the business model was to charge high housing charges to clients. With the sharing of platforms through cloud computing, traditional workloads are relatively degraded due to consolidation through virtualization, but in the era of AI and big data, this aspect is basically that of HPC, and the conventional strategy is It doesn't work.We are using the Tokyo Tech supercomputer TSUBAME3, and the AIST ABCI based on it, to reduce OPEX through innovative greening and automation by introducing supercomputers into data centers, and to significantly reduce costs for data center buildings. Achieve CAPX reduction at the same time. Furthermore, by making the design specifications of software, hardware, and infrastructure open source, we will promote a strategy that will enable our country to compete with the major cloud companies by promoting their rapid spread.
