- 2021-10-28 Drs. Kohji Yoshikawa (CCS, University of Tsukuba), Satoshi Tanaka (YITP, Kyoto University) and Naoki Yoshida (KIPMU, University of Tokyo) have been selected as one of the finalists of Gordon Bell Prize of this year, for their simulation of cosmic neutrino on Supercomputer Fugaku, performed under "Program for Promoting Researches on the Supercomputer Fugaku" (Toward a unified view of the universe: from large scale structures to planets) (Japanese page only)
- 2021-09-14 Associate Professor Hideyuki Hotta (Graduate School of Science, Chiba University) and Professor Kanya Kusano (Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, Nagoya University) , who are members of "Program for Promoting Researches on the Supercomputer Fugaku" (Toward a unified view of the universe: from large scale structures to planets), have reproduced the solar differential rotation for the first time with the highest-resolution simulation on supercomputer "Fugaku".
- 2021-06-28 Preferred Networks, Inc. (PFN) and Kobe University are happy to announce that, PFN's in-house supercomputer MN-3, powered by MN-Core processor jointly developed by the research group led by Professor Jun Makino (Director of CPS) and PFN, topped the latest Green500 list of the world's most energy-efficient supercomputers. This is the second time that MN-3 ranked No.1, following the ranking of June 2020.
- 2021-06-22 A new book, "Principles of High-Performance Processor Design", authored by the director of CPS, Prof. Makino, will be published by Springer.
- 2021-06-18 Prof. Hayashi, Lecturer Kashimura, and their colleagues have conducted a numerical simulation of the Venus atmosphere in the Earth Simulator by the use of a general circulation model, "AFES-Venus", with the highest resolution in the world, and succeeded in representing spontaneous generations of small scale waves from the Venusian tidal migration. For details, please see the page [here (in Japanese)] or the [paper] that has been published.
- 2021-06-14 Preferred Networks, Inc. succeeded in developing a compiler for the MN-Core processor, which they have jointly developed with Kobe University. Using this compiler, MN-Core delivers the performance superior to other existing processors used for deep learning applications.
