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 underway NAREGI – 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 126 JPY = 1 EURO
