Research on large-scale numerical fluid simulation using the supercomputer "Tomitake" conducted by the research groups of the Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo, RIKEN, RIKEN, and Japan Shipbuilding Technology Center was selected as the final candidate for the Gordon Bell Award. rice field.
According to the University of Tokyo, research has realized fluid numerical calculation that is 70 times faster than the supercomputer "K computer" by devising an innovative algorithm suitable for the latest supercomputers such as "Tomitake". bottom.
Furthermore, it has been proved that the performance tests of ships and automobiles, which have been evaluated in water tank experiments and wind tunnel experiments, can be completely replaced by numerical simulations using computers.It can be expected to be applied in many industrial fields in the future.
The supercomputer "Tomitake" is the successor to the "K computer" and recorded the world's highest performance in June 2020.Comprehensive power It is expected to be put into service in 6 as the world's highest level supercomputer, and it is expected to contribute to the growth of Japan by solving scientific problems and produce world-leading results.
The Gordon Bell Award is awarded to the most prominent research in applying high-performance parallel computing to the field of science and technology.This year, it will be announced at an international conference on high performance computing, which will be held online from November 11th to 16th.
