- 2021-07-14 CPS Seminar, ISHIOKA Keiichi (Kyoto University)"On speeding up the spherical harmonic transform library (ISPACK)" (July 22, 2021)
- 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.
