We owe this success to our close work together with RIKEN to improve application performance, which led to the realization of this highly balanced performance. From this March, Fugaku has started shared use, and we are pleased that many researchers and organizations are already taking advantage of the unparalleled capabilities offered by Fugaku. Fujitsu recently announced its plans to use Fugaku in joint research with the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, at the University of Tokyo to contribute to the development of new drugs to combat COVID-19. In the future, we anticipate that Fugaku's use will continue to play an important role in contributing to the realization of the Japanese government's plan for Society 5.0, including in areas like drug discovery, as well as ensuring a secure and safe society. We would like to once again express our sincere gratitude to RIKEN and others for their great cooperation and support."
