Professor Akinori Yonezaw,of Tokyo University siging the MOU.

Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences has signed a memorandum of understanding establishing a research collaboration with the University of Tokyo Information Technology Center. The research will involve high performance computing (HPC), computational science, and optimization of applications performance on HPC systems, for example:

  • Numerical libraries for scientific computation
  • Couplers for multi-physics simulations
  • Scientific computing benchmarks
  • Parallel programming models for peta/exascale systems
  • Auto-tuning technologies for scientific computing
  • Parallel algorithms for eigenvalue calculations and sparse direct/iterative solvers for systems of linear equations Runtime system for peta/exascale systems

The agreement also provides mutual access to facilities for research and an employee exchange opportunity.
