マンモス復活に活用（Take advantage of the revival Mammoth）

近畿大学は２９日、遺伝子解析などの先端研究に活用するため、世界一の計算速度を持つスーパーコンピューター「京」の普及機の導入を決めた。同機を大学で導入するのは東大に続き、私大としては全国初。
近大によると、普及機は富士通のスパコン「ＰＲＩＭＥＨＰＣ（プライムエイチピーシー）ＦＸ１０」。購入金額は非公開。１秒間に２・５兆回の計算ができるという。
生物理工学部（和歌山県紀の川市）に設置され、今年７月から本格稼働の予定。主な用途はこれまでに蓄積された遺伝子の膨大なデータ解析やタンパク質の機能のシミュレーションなど。同大の専門家グループが進めるマンモス復活に向けた研究にも活用される。
スパコン「京」は理化学研究所と富士通が共同開発し、昨年６月と１１月に世界一の性能を達成。東大では気象や物理などの先端研究に活用されている。

Kinki University 29, in order to take advantage of advanced research such as gene analysis, the machine decided to introduce the spread of "Today" with the computational speed of supercomputers in the world. To introduce at the University of the aircraft followed by the University of Tokyo, as soon as the nation's first.

According to the Kinki, Fujitsu's supercomputer machine spread "PRIMEHPC (prime Pishi HS) FX10". Purchase price were not disclosed. Can calculate that 2.5 trillion times per second.

Is installed in (the river city of Wakayama), Faculty of Science and Technology Biology, scheduled for full operation from July this year. Typical applications such as data analysis and simulation of protein function of genes that are vast accumulated so far. Be utilized for the study group of experts for the mammoth revival of the university is promoting.

"Today" supercomputer is RIKEN and Fujitsu have jointly developed the world's best performance is achieved in June and November last year. At the University of Tokyo has been utilized in advanced research, such as weather and physical.

Kinki University enters is outstanding achievements, such as farming of bluefin tuna in the field of life science, I want to further growth through the introduction of a super computer.
