In order to make the best use of resources of the Next-Generation Supercomputer, we have investigated which research fields and what application programs need the Peta-scale computational power.
Our aim is to develop an architecture design of the Next-Generation Supercomputer based on the characteristics of each program.
The RIKEN Application Committee has selected 21 application programs appropriate for execution on the Next-Generation Supercomputer.
In the project, we have developed benchmark-test programs regarding these 21 applications, and examined the proposed architectures based on benchmark-test results.
