Topics

Next-Generation Supercomputing Symposium 2010 and 1st Joint Workshop for 5 Strategic Programs

On January 17, 2011, the“ Next-Generation Supercomputing Symposium 2010 and 1st Joint Workshop for 5 Strategic Programs” was held on the Port Island, Kobe. The RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science, which operates the 10 quadrillion speed "K computer", and interested persons from 5 research fields doing research using the K computer, gathered together for the first time. The symposium was highly successful, and there were about 300 participants. From the active discussion, there was a feeling that this project is making a contribution to life and society due to collaboration between the field of computational science and that of computer science to achieve new breakthroughs.
