Research Results

Dec. 2022

A research result of Taisei Corporation in our project, “Evaluation of Long-Period Ground Motions and Building Responses Based on Multiple Fault Rupture Scenarios,” has been reported in Taisei Advanced Center of Technology Technical Report, No.55.

Nov. 2022

A feature interview with Prof. Tsuyoshi Ichimura : "Computing Crustal Deformation with Uncertainty Quantification – Large-Scale Earthquake Simulation beyond Common Sense" appeared in the HPCI magazine FUGAKU HYAKKEI Vol.9 published by Research Organization for Information Science and Technology (RIST).

Aug. 2022

The research results using supercomputer Fugaku by our project sub-leader Prof. Ichimura and his group, “Extreme-scale earthquake simulation with uncertainty quantification”, have been selected as one of the six finalist projects for the 2022 ACM Gordon Bell Prize. The Gordon Bell Prize, commonly referred to as the Nobel Prize of Supercomputing, is an award presented by the Association for Computing Machinery each year in conjunction with the SC Conference series. The final winners will be announced at SC (the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis) held annually in November.

June 2022

Dr. Takane Hori, our project leader, chaired a session titled "Creating future of solid Earth science with high performance computing (HPC)" on May 22, 2022, at JpGU Meeting 2022 held as an onsite-online hybrid event. The session brought together about 15 onsite participants and 45 online participants for lively discussions.

May 2022

At JpGU Meeting 2022 (May 22 - 27, 2022), a session entitled "Creating future of solid Earth science with high performance computing (HPC)" will be held on May 22, chaired by Project Leader Dr. Takane Hori. Researchers who are applying HPC technology in forward simulations and inversion analyses will give presentations and we will discuss how to improve more the collaboration between computer & computational sciences and solid Earth science, including the use of the supercomputer Fugaku.
