NEC's SX-9 is the world's fastest vector supercomputer, developed to meet the need for ultra-fast simulations of advanced and complex large-capability scientific computing.

Enhanced Groundbreaking Performance from Ultra High-Speed CPU
Inheriting existing vector architecture, SX-9 improves on this with the addition of an arithmetic unit and an increased number of vector pipelines. This has resulted in the development of the world's fastest single-chip vector processor with a computing performance of 102.4 GFLOPS per single core, and a wide memory bandwidth of 256GB/s. With a single node incorporating up to 16 CPUs, computing performance in excess of 1.6TFLOPS is achieved. SX-9 also realizes a large-scale shared memory consisting of a memory capacity of 1TB.
