In 2015, computers using PEZY processors occupied the top 3 slots on the Green 500 supercomputer list the most efficient was RIKEN's  Shoubu computer with 7.03 GFLOPS/Watt.

In late 2016, PEZY and Imagination Technologies announced a partnership to use Imagination's 64-bit MIPS "Warrior" CPUs together with PEZY's SC2 manycore processors in future high performance computing applications.

In early 2017, the PEZY-SC2 chip was launched. In Nov 2017 the Gyoukou supercomputer was unveiled, incorporating PEZY-SC2 chips.

In December 2017, PEZY President Motoaki Saito, and PEZY employee, Daisuke Suzuki, were arrested on a charges of fraud that is padding expenses claims to Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to the amount of $3.8 million. (¥431 million) In January 2018, further criminal activity was reported as being under investigation by the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office that is a further ¥191 million extracted illegally as subsidies. In July 2018 Daisuke Suzuki received a suspended prison sentence of three years, for his involvement in the fraud -  was found to have played a minor associative role to Saito.

On 21 December 2022, PEZY began a partnership with proteanTecs based out of Israel.

Ra'ad-II. The Ra'ad-II ( 'Thunder-2') is a standoff and an air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) derived from the Hatf-VIII Ra'ad. It was first publicly unveiled on the Pakistan Day Parade on 23 March 2017,

The Ra'ad features extended range, changes in its control mechanism, its guidance and enhanced flight control systems.

Testing and unveiling

On 18 February 2020, Ra'ad-II was test-fired from the Pakistan Air Force's Mirage-IIIR platform. The test was overseen by Ra'ad-II program manager, the Strategic Plans Division, developing contractor, NESCOM, and the Pakistan Air Force and Army's Strategic Commands.

According to the ISPR, it significantly enhanced Pakistan's air delivered strategic standoff capability on land and at sea.

Technical design

Data provided by the Inter-Services Public Relations, the Ra'ad-II has an extended range of  and has a conventional tail fin configuration compared to the twin tail configuration of the previous version.

It has a new "X" type tail as opposed to previous versions large horizontal tails. It has a length of , and is much lighter than the previous weapon system. Design and control surfaces changes to Ra'ad-II allows to integrate with the JF-17 Thunder platform— the PAF's primary strike platform.

Aerial-based deterrence

Both Hatf-VIII Ra'ad and Ra'ad-II are seen as providing Pakistan the aerial nuclear deterrence against the much larger Indian Air Force and their air defenses in an event of large scale conventional war.

In a view of one former PAF's former fighter pilot, Ra'ad "treetop-hugging [ALCM] with its minuscule radar cross-section should be a good antidote to the Indian acquired of S-400 Triumf." While the Islamabad-based Center for International Strategic Studies (CISS) analyst maintained that the Ra’ad-II is "Pakistan's response to Indian development of the Nirbhay cruise missile."

Boron nitride aerogel. Boron nitride aerogel is an aerogel made of highly porous boron nitride (BN). It typically consists of a mixture of deformed boron nitride nanotubes and nanosheets. It can have a density as low as 0.6 mg/cm3 and a specific surface area as high as 1050 m2/g, and therefore has potential applications as an absorbent, catalyst support and gas storage medium. BN aerogels are highly hydrophobic and can absorb up to 160 times their mass in oil. They are resistant to oxidation in air at temperatures up to 1200 °C, and hence can be reused after the absorbed oil is burned out by flame. BN aerogels can be prepared by template-assisted chemical vapor deposition at a temperature ~900 °C using borazine as the feed gas. Alternatively it can be produced by ball milling h-BN powder, ultrasonically dispersing it in water, and freeze-drying the dispersion.

Alexander Leslie (engineer). Alexander Leslie FRSE PRSSA (16 September 1844 – 7 December 1893) was a Scottish civil engineer. He served as President of the Royal Scottish Society of Arts from 1890 until his premature death in 1893. He specialised in harbour works and reservoirs.

Life

He was born in Dundee on 16 September 1844 the son of the civil engineer James Leslie and his wife Jane Hunter (1804-1887).

He was educated at the Edinburgh Institution (now Stewarts Melville) then studied mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. In 1862 he joined the offices of David and Thomas Stevenson as a trainee lighthouse and harbour engineer. He worked here for three years and his projects included a new breakwater at Wick. He then briefly gained extra experience as a land surveyor with a Mr Macbey of Elgin before joining the firm of Morkle & Prodham working on the Blaydon and Conside Railway. From 1865 he was also partially employed in his father's office, and in 1871 he was created a Partner, and came to aid his father in several projects, the firm thereafter being called J & A Leslie.

In 1882 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh his proposers being Thomas Stevenson and Peter Guthrie Tait.

In 1881, prior to his father's death (in 1889) a further partnership was created with his brother-in-law, Robert Carstairs Reid (1845–1894), to create Leslie & Reid. Robert had earlier been a school friend and probably through this connection met his sister, Charlotte Leslie (1846–1935). On Reid's death he took on William Archer Porter Tait.

He died on 7 December 1893 aged 49. He is buried with his parents in Dean Cemetery.

Leslie Frise. Leslie George Frise FRAeS (2 July 1895 – 26 September 1979) was a British aerospace engineer and aircraft designer; he designed the Type 156 Bristol Beaufighter. He was involved in the development of aircraft and gun-turret hydraulic systems.

Early life
Frise was born in Bristol, Gloucestershire, an area which is now known as South Gloucestershire. He was educated at Bristol Grammar School and gained a BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bristol. Early in First World War he served in the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS).

Boulton Paul Aircraft
In 1915 he started Boulton Paul Aircraft's first aircraft factory at Mousehold Heath, Norwich to make 100 Sopwith Camels. The company was previously a general manufacturing firm that had begun in 1873.

Bristol Aeroplane Company
In August 1915, Frank Barnwell rejoined Bristol Aeroplane Company and was looking for an assistant. He interviewed Leslie Frise and employed him in 1916; Frank Barnwell would become one of Bristol's main aircraft designers until his death on 2 August 1938 in an aviation accident. Barnwell developed the 1916 Bristol F.2 Fighter with Frise's assistance.

He invented the Frise aileron, also known as the slotted aileron, in 1921, which is designed to counteract adverse yaw, which won him the Royal Aeronautical Society's Wakefield Gold Medal (for advances in aviation safety) awarded on 30 May 1933. The Frise aileron has an effect on parasitic drag so that the total drag on both wings is the same when an aircraft executes a roll.

In 1934 he developed, with Frank Barnwell, the Bristol Type 143, a monoplane with retractable undercarriage; only one prototype was made.

In 1936, when Barnwell became chief engineer, Frise became chief designer.

He worked for 32 years for Bristol retiring, as chief engineer, in 1946 on grounds of ill health.

Percival Aircraft
Frise joined Percival Aircraft in 1948 as technical director and chief engineer. He designed a naval version of the Percival Prince and the Percival Sea Prince. He also designed the Percival Provost basic trainer and a jet-powered version the Jet Provost. In 1956 he left to become Director of Special Projects with Blackburn Aircraft.

Aircraft designed

Frise was involved in the design of or lead the design team as chief engineer for the following aircraft:
 Bristol Beaufighter
 Bristol Beaufort
 Bristol Blenheim
 Bristol Brabazon
 Bristol Brigand
 Bristol Bulldog
 Bristol Freighter
 Hunting-Percival Jet Provost
 Percival Provost
 Percival Sea Prince

Personal life
Frise married in 1922 in Bristol; they had a son born in 1938 and a daughter in 1948. He died in Bristol aged 84.

Honours and awards
Frise was admitted to the Freedom of the City of London in 1948.
