NEC SX-Aurora TSUBASA

NEC SX-Aurora TSUBASA A300-8 server with eight vector engines on display at the NEC booth at SC'17 in Denver

The NEC SX-Aurora TSUBASA is a vector processor of the NEC SX architecture family.[1][2] Unlike previous SX supercomputers, the SX-Aurora TSUBASA is provided as a PCIe card, termed by NEC as a "Vector Engine" (VE).[2] Eight VE cards can be inserted into a vector host (VH) which is typically a x86-64 server running the Linux operating system.[2] The product has been announced in a press release on 25 October 2017 and NEC has started selling it in February 2018.[3] The product succeeds the SX-ACE.
