Savanna
What is Savanna
RICOS is operating its Savanna system, a group of servers specialized in numerical computation and machine learning respectively.
This system forms the calculation base of AI technology that requires an enormous amount of calculation by using computers efficiently according to the analysis program. In addition, we are developing the computer operational know-how obtained in this system as HPC system and cloud environment that matches the customer's environment.
Features of Savanna
-
①Savanna can be used at a low price
Even if you do not have your computer, you can use it from a small lot with our cloud service. In addition, Savanna can be used at a low price of 100 yen per 1 node hour.
