Educational Use


　The Information Technology Center, the University of Tokyo (hereafter, "the Center") provides a part of its supercomputer resources free of charge for use in a wide range of educational activities, such as university and technical college classes, corporate training programs, and voluntary study groups organized by students. Applications are accepted not only from within the University of Tokyo but also from outside the University of Tokyo.
　There is a growing trend to use supercomputers as educational tools by applying methods developed in a wide range of research fields, such as climate science, fluid analysis, structural analysis, molecular science, nanotechnology, and aerospace engineering. Supercomputers are already being used in undergraduate specialized courses and graduate-level classes for exercises in structural analysis, earth sciences, and fluid-related studies. The use of supercomputers in educational activities is expected to contribute to human resource development and to the broader adoption of supercomputer utilization. Applications are accepted at any time, but please allow sufficient time before the preferred start date.

Information
