Prof. Toyotaro Suzumura and his team win first place in Graph 500 “Big Data” supercomputer ranking!

Prof. Toyotaro Suzumura, a Visiting Associate Professor in the Performance Engineering Lab at the School of Computer Science and Informatics, and his JST CREST team have won first place in the latest [http://www.graph500.org/ Graph 500 “Big Data” benchmarking ranking]. His team used the K computer, located in Kobe, Japan, in collaboration with RIKEN and Tokyo Institute of Technology. The results were announced on June 23 at the International Supercomputing Conference ([http://www.isc-events.com/isc14/ ISC14]) held in Leipzig, Germany.

The Graph 500 ranking is a relatively new benchmark, first issued in 2010, which measures the ability of supercomputers to perform big data processing on data-intensive loads, with the goal of improving computing on complex data problems in five key areas: cybersecurity, medical informatics, data enrichment, social networks, and symbolic networks.

By carrying out a series of optimizations at the level of algorithms and software implementation, Prof. Suzumura’s team was able to solve a “breadth-first search” of an extremely large graph (over 1 billion nodes and 17 billion edges) in less than 1 second. With this achievement it placed first in this year’s Graph 500 ranking. In second place was the Sequoia computer at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in the USA; the Mira computer at the Argonne National Laboratory in the USA was in third place.
