Cuneiform writing was invented by the Sumerians for writing their own language, but it ended up being adapted to write many other languages as well, including Akkadian, Elamite, Eblaite and Old Persian. Consequently there are many cuneiform texts that are not Sumerian.
Akkadian is not a writing system but rather a language. It is the earliest attested member of the Semitic language family, which includes Hebrew and Arabic. Akkadian was spoken in the same general area of Mesopotamia as Sumerian (modern-day Iraq) and was written using the same cuneiform writing system.
