Educating researchers and engineers for the next generationof high-performance computing technologies
The Education and Research Center on Computational Science and Engineering (ECCSE), was established in 2014.
It promotes research and education in simulation technology and produces skilled researchers and engineers

who will shape the next generation of high-performance computing technologies in collaboration with universities, national research institutes, and industries. The center was reorganized as the Education and ResearchCenter on Computational Science and Engineering (ECCSE), Graduate School of System Informatics, in FY2022.

Internetuniversity

We educate individuals who① understand the principles and value of computational science in problem-solving,② have a wide interdisciplinary knowledge of various computational science ﬁelds,③ can handle simulation techniques in various research ﬁelds

Intensive courses on parallel computing

Intensive courses on parallel computing for juniorresearchers are oﬀered in collaboration with RIKEN
Center for Computational Science (RIKEN R-CCS) and theUniversity of Hyogo in September every year, as KOBE HPC
Summer School.

The courses include hands-on exercises on supercomputerindustryuse.

International Collaboration in researchand education
Past ﬂyers of “Basis for
Computational Life Science”

To improve simulation knowledge and technologies, a
researcher at our institute makes a half-year international exchange research at the University of Oslo,
Norway, based on Kobe University Long Term Overseas
Visit Program for Young Researchers.
The exchange research covers a broad range of activities, such as writing up international joint papers aswell as carrying out workshops, which involve
students from both Kobe and Oslo Universities.

Research Activities with the π-comuter
The π-computer is a high-performance PC cluster

consisting of 16 compute nodes with the peak performance of 22.9 TFlops. Each compute node has twoCPUs (AMD EPYC 7282, 2.8GHz, 16 cores) and main
memory of 256 GiB.

Compilers including the Intel compiler are provided

to develop various applications. Jobs are executed
via the PBS batch job scheduler under the Linux OS(Red Hat Enterprise Linux).

【Principal applications】● Solutions for disaster mitigation and global environmental problems● Development of cutting-edge products and new energy sources● Development of new nanotech materials● Scientiﬁc explanations for the mysteries of the universe● Development of new drugs
