Oakbridge-CX Supercomputer System
“Large-Scale HPC Challenge” Application Details
Research subjects
The Large-Scale HPC Challenge is restricted to research that involves large-scale computing using a maximum of 1,280 nodes. The premise is that applicants and members of research groups have a track record in large-scale computing using parallel computer systems in Japan or abroad. A wide range of research fields related to high-performance computing, as shown below, are eligible.
- Large-scale simulations
- Large-scale data processing
- Large-scale benchmarking, evaluation of the performance of computational and communications systems
- Other software execution related to large-scale computing
Eligibility for use
Eligibility for use is determined through screening by a screening committee comprising faculty members of the Supercomputing Research Division, Information Technology Center, and external committee members, based on the application documents. Applicants do not have to be existing users of the system.
Applicants must be researchers affiliated with universities or public organizations in Japan, and or be parties affiliated with private corporations.
Foreign nationals and those residing abroad should also check this page.
Screening method/Selection criteria
Projects submitted for consideration will be selected based on the following criteria, by a screening committee comprising faculty members of the Supercomputing Research Division, Information Technology Center, and external committee members. The results will be announced as soon as possible.
- A. The details of calculations and results must be available for publication, including papers.
- B. Computational results can be deemed to be useful to science or have social impact.
- C. Sets out the goal of using 1,024 nodes or more.
- D. Feasible plans, and possibility of producing effects in a short time (each period of use is for a maximum of 24 hours).
- E. Provides useful information to the operation or user of the system. A-D: Required
E: Although not required, the application may be evaluated for points if there is a relevant description in the application form.
