INTRODUCTION toHPCIRIST carries out the General Coordination for HPCI Operation, as well as the UserSelection, Resource Allocation, User Support and other relevant activities*.

- User Selection and Resource Allocation

What is HPCI?

RIST carries out the user selection and resource allocation of Supercomputer Fugaku and other computersof the HPCI system through transparent and fair procedures adopting a peer review process.

HPCI was established in 2012 as national HPC infrastructure connecting the flagship system and the systems of major
universities and national laboratories with high speed academic network.
To accelerate the utilization of HPC in Japan and to contribute to the society, HPCI provides world’s top class computing
resources with variety of system at open calls.

- User Support
RIST provides a variety of services with Helpdesk as the general contact point for users.
