On April 2020, 4, the Research Organization for Information Science and Technology announced that it will provide HPCI supercomputer resources free of charge to support "research on the response to new coronavirus infections".
HPCI (Innovative High Performance Computing Infrastructure) developed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is a powerful research that Japan is proud of, organically linking the world's leading advanced supercomputers of national universities and national research and development corporations. basis.
This time, we will make a temporary open call for researchers who are taking measures against new coronavirus infections, regardless of academic or industrial world, and will provide various supercomputer resources with a total performance of 14 PFLOPS * free of charge.The recruitment starts from April 4th and can be used for up to 15 months from the start of use to the end of March 2021.
