RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS)
Director: Satoshi Matsuoka (Ph.D.)
The objectives of the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) are threefold, centered around supercomputing: one is to target high performance computation itself as a scientific objective, or namely, the "Science of Computing"; another is to apply the enormous computational power thus obtained to solve difficult scientific problems, or namely, the "Science by Computing"; finally, to collaborate with other scientific disciplines that contribute to advances in both sciences, or namely, the "Science for Computing." Our goal is to be recognized as one of the global leadership research centers to advance high-end computational science in this regard.
In addition to research and development for next-generation supercomputers following the supercomputer Fugaku, we are also developing computational infrastructures that integrate with emerging technologies such as quantum computing. We aim to accelerate research processes by harnessing rapidly advancing AI in scientific research, through the development of foundational models for 'AI for Science.' The outcomes of these efforts are expected to contribute significantly to the evolution of IT in business and industry, enhancing public life and boosting economic growth.
