In today\u2019s academic research, all research data, including measurement data and computational results, are digitized and rapidly expanding in both diversity and scale. Consequently, computing and data infrastructures for effectively utilizing these data are becoming increasingly important.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our research division pursues the realization of Cyber Infrastructures that support academia and industry in Japan. We leverage the expertise of D3 Center (formerly known as Cybermedia Center)\u00a0 in building and operating supercomputing systems, large-scale visualization systems, and data infrastructures. To achieve this goal, we research and develop fundamental technologies for the next-generation supercomputers, computing and data infrastructure centered on cloud computing systems, and their applications. Currently, our division is primarily focusing on the following research topics:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
High-Performance Computing and Data Analysis<\/b><\/dt>\n
We research and develop technologies for efficiently and rapidly processing and analyzing large-scale, diverse datasets. Targeting various simulations and AI applications, our research leverages state-of-the-art processors and accelerators (e.g., GPUs), to achieve high-speed and high-efficiency simulation and data analysis.<\/span><\/dd>\n
HPC-AI Integration for Digital Twins<\/b><\/dt>\n
In Japan, the momentum toward Society 5.0 is accelerating. This initiative seeks to create a human-centered society that harmonizes economic development with resolving societal issues through systems that seamlessly integrate cyber space (virtual space) and physical space (real space). Achieving this vision requires high-performance computing to simulate physical and social phenomena with high accuracy, as well as advanced data analysis capabilities supported by AI and ML to process vast amounts of data, predict future trends, and create new values. Our research focuses on developing the computing and data infrastructures essential for these efforts. Specifically, we research and develop digital twins that integrate HPC and AI to support the realization of Society 5.0\u2019s cyber-space digital twin systems.<\/span><\/dd>\n
Ultra-Distributed Computing Infrastructure Centered on Supercomputing Systems<\/b><\/dt>\n
With a focus on the post-5G era, we research and develop an ultra-distributed computing environment in which networks are dynamically formed that integrate and connect diverse IoT devices, which generate vast amounts of data, with numerous edge systems, cloud platforms, and supercomputing systems. By leveraging and coordinating these computational resources, we aim to efficiently process and utilize the data in a seamless and integrated manner.<\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Our research division addresses practical challenges in science and industry by engaging in collaborative research and development with researchers and engineers across the globe. A key strength of our division is its ability to utilize the abundant computing resources of the D3 Center to create practical and useful computing technologies in partnership with international research teams. Furthermore, a unique aspect of our division is that most of our research and development is conducted in collaboration with researchers from universities, research institutes, and industry partners.<\/span><\/p>\n
