   > Japanese supercomputer Fugaku has lost its position as the world's fastest in terms of computing speed, ranking second after topping the list in a twice-yearly ranking the last four times in a row, its developer Riken research institute said Monday.

   > Named after an alternative word for Mt. Fuji, it lost the top spot to the Frontier supercomputer of the United States' Oak Ridge National Laboratory, whose speeds run 2.5 times faster than that of Fugaku's, Riken said, citing results from the U.S.-European TOP500 project.

   > Fugaku maintained first place for the fifth time in a row in TOP500's high-performance conjugate gradient which focuses on industrial use, as well as in Graph500's list for big data analytics, according to Riken.
