Objectives of the AIST Super cluster

Provide a common platform to accelerate grid research and development by collaboration with industries （産） , universities （學） , and international （国際） partners.

World Class cluster fully dedicated to the grid R&D“Proof of concept” of grid cluster federation

Accommodate computational sciences primary in nanotech application and bio informatics.

Nurture grid-enabled applications

Demonstrate higher performance even in a large scale cluster with a reasonable TCO.

Summary

Grid projects are successfully underwayNAREGI – MEXT (1,950M JPY/FY’04)Business Grid – METI (2,600M JPY/FY’04)AIST own project at GTRC

More (super-) clusters for Grid (e-Infrastructure)NAREGI Testbeds (7TFlops + 10TFlops)AIST Superclusters (14TFlops+ )RIKEN cluster (14TFlops+ )

Unfortunately Japan government tends to have “e-Japan” rather than “e-Science/e-Infrastructure”, sigh

No similar program like “e-Science” or “Cyber Infra”projects launched separately
