Japan's RIKEN and Fujitsu have partnered with Argonne National Laboratory and Nvidia to establish next-gen computing infrastructure for AI and high-performance computing. A memorandum of understanding has been signed to develop system software for scientific research, focusing on future computing architectures, autonomous lab workflows, and an interoperable software ecosystem.

This collaboration aligns with the US Genesis Mission, aimed at leveraging AI for scientific discoveries. RIKEN and ANL had previously signed a similar MoU in 2024. RIKEN is also collaborating with Fujitsu and Nvidia on the FugakuNEXT supercomputer, which will utilize Arm core processors and incorporate GPU accelerators.
