■The Development and Use of the Next- Generation Supercomputer Project of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Scienceand Technology (MEXT).
Next-Generation Integrated Simulation of Living Matter
The “Next-Generation Integrated Simulation of Living Matter” is a project sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, in which research and development of simulation software to understand various phenomena occurring in the biological systems, including molecules and the human body, have been undertaken to realize a petascale simulation by making full use of the performance of a ten quadrillion speed computer known as “K computer”.
■Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Project for high-degree application of high performance generalpurpose computer
HPCI Strategic Program Field 1
Supercomputational Life Science
The HPCI Strategic Program is a program of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology aiming to produce ground-breaking results in computer science technology by maximizing the benefits of the HPCI (High Performance Computing Infrastructure) centered on the K computer, and encouraging developments in five research fields that need to be strategically addressed.
"Supercomputational Life Science" as a representative organization of Riken, has conducted research with the mission of understanding and predicting life phenomena based on largescale simulation and advanced data analysis, and to apply these results to design and implement medicine and medical care with its research.
