Our software engineer, Mr. Sakai, presented an invited lecture on the second day of the event at “Supercomputing Japan 2025” held at Tower Hall Funabori from February 3 to 4, 2025.

The title of his lecture is “Acceleration of Human Genome Analysis with the Many-Core Processor PEZY-SC3 and Outlook for the PEZY-SC Series”[1].

Materials used in the lecture can be downloaded here[2].

In his presentation, he introduced the mechanism of speed-up in ZettaVEGA, a high-speed human genome analysis system developed by our company. He also introduced cases of large-scale human genome analysis using ZettaVEGA. In addition, he announced the performance of our next generation processor PEZY-SC4s, scheduled for release in 2025.

ZettaScaler-4.0, using the PEZY-SC4s processor, doubles the current speed of human genome analysis, It is capable of high-speed learning and inference of deep learning. A lot of computing power is required to perform highly accurate analysis quickly. We expect that our proprietary processors[3], which are power efficient and have high processing performance, will continue to have an important role in the field of computational science.
