Research subject

Research on next-generation computing technologies

Contents of research

Computing technologies have been used in a variety of scientific computations such as simulations in the development of new materials and weather forecasts, and contribute to solving social issues such as environmental problems and disasters. In contrast, the scale and complexity of problems expected to be solved, as well as the required solution accuracy, are increasing rapidly, and it is important to continue to significantly improve the performance of computing technologies in order to meet these high demands.

In this research laboratory, we aim to realize unprecedented and revolutionary computing methods by analyzing and understanding the detailed computation behavior of the current computing architectures and using the analysis results to find a new architecture suitable for performance improvement of next-generation computing. In addition, with the aim of contributing to society by applying and solving various problems, we will promote the training of researchers and engineers who have both a knowledge of software and hardware, and who work on solving social problems through computing technologies with a broad perspective.

Roles of both parties

Hiroshima University

Detailed analysis of computation, such as how applications run on GPUs, FPGAs, etc., and problem analysis.

Fujitsu

Design hardware architectures to solve the problems based on the results of Hiroshima University‘s problem analysis.

While the above roles will be played in principle, we aim to achieve innovative and epoch-making research results by mutually sharing knowledge and conducting research, such as selecting applications to be studied and creating new architecture ideas that are particularly important in this initiative.
