The K computer, released on September 29, 2012, is a large-scale parallel supercomputer
system consisting of 82,944 compute nodes. We have been able to resolve a significant
number of operation issues since its release. Some system software components have been

Abstract
The K computer, released on September 29, 2012, is a large-scale parallel supercomputer system consisting of 82,944 compute nodes. We have been able to resolve a significant number of operation issues since its release. Some system software components have been fixed and improved to obtain higher stability and utilization. We achieved 94% service availability because of a low hardware failure rate and approximately 80% node utilization by careful adjustment of operation parameters. We found that the K computer is an extremely stable and high utilization system.
