Kanaya Masahiro tells a rather endearing story behind the sweet's creation.
When a local confectioner fell sick he took over producing the store's traditional monaka, but changed the shape from a chrysanthemum to a cat to finally celebrate the pet he wasn't allowed as a child.

A Quiet Giant Steps Forward: #Arm v9 Chiplets, SRAM, and 2nm Compute
#Fujitsu's #Monaka is built around a #2nm core die, arranged in a 3D many-core chiplet layout, designed for air-cooled servers, using regular memory, and optimized for confidential computing, ultra-low voltage operation, and sustainability at scale, designed foe #cloudnative workloads.
Unlike some custom #CPU that require bespoke toolchains, Monaka is positioned to run a standard #Linux stack.

Over time the original wafers changed in shape, and bean jam was added as a filling. No longer moon-like, the name was shortened to just 'monaka'.

The nearby confectioners 'Itotatsu' are well-known for their 'bear monaka' that change outfits with each season🧸🥰

Monaka sieht so aus - abgebissen. Mit Bohnenpaste-Füllung

I’m legitimately shocked that the next generation #fujitsu processor, named #Monaka, does not make use of #Arm SME, but does make the jump all the way to Arm V9.3 and #SVE/#SVE2.

Especially given they call out SVE for #HPC workloads

Sea breams are considered a symbol of good fortune in Japan. This giant monaka was eaten around the New Year.

First known as 'monaka-no-tsuki' (もなかの月), it's likely that monaka originated at a sweet shop in Yoshiwara during the mid-Edo period.

Rice flour and water were first kneaded together...the dough was then steamed, rolled, cut into round shapes, baked and sprinkled with sugar.
