Multidisciplinary Cooperative Research Program 2019

MCRP 2019

Center for Computational Sciences (CCS), University of Tsukuba, is operating the following supercomputers.

• Oakforest-PACS (OFP): 25 PFLOPS. Supercomputer with many-core processors (Knights Landing architecture), operated under collaboration between University of Tokyo and University of Tsukuba, since April 2017.
• Cygnus: 2.4 PFLOPS (double precision floating-point operation). Supercomputer equipped with GPU (NVIDIA V100) and FPGA (Intel Stratix10). It is scheduled to start operation from May 2019.

CCS provides about 30 % of the resources of OFP owned by University of Tsukuba (about 10 % of the total resources), and 50 % of the total resources of Cygnus to this program, MCRP-2019.
