      Proposal must include a plan of a highly parallel execution application/simulation by solving their problems with the utilizing of our supercomputer systems.

     

    2. Number of Acceptance

    (1) Exploratory Research Project for Young or Women Scientists : 3-5 projects
    (2) Full Utilizing Large Scale High Performance Computing Project : 1-2 projects

     

    3. Project Implementation Period

    April 1, 2016 - March 31, 2017
    If you require utilizing the computational resources over the period, you should apply a continuance application, then you should get an acceptance.

     

    4. System Overview

    Two type supercomputer systems are available.
     
    "SX-ACE" is a vector-typed supercomputer system that has a functionality of multiple operation in 1 clock. In particular, it is better suited computer for a large scale matrix operation or inner product operation.
     
    "VCC (Visualization Computer Cluster)" is a scaler computer cluster that has many core Intel processors. VCC has a functionally of re-configurable devices such as GPGPU and SSD. VCC can provide user requirement suited computational resource with devices. If user requires a cluster computer with GPGPU and SSD, VCC assigns and provides a suited computer resource. On the other hands, VCC provides a functionality of combination with High-resolution Tiled Display System that is as an interactive job. High-resolution Tiled Display systems are available at Suita Campus and Vislab Osaka, Umeda. Detail information of our computer resources is as below anchors.
