I start the next-generation supercomputer development.

From next year , the Ministry of Education started the next-generation supercomputer development . The goal of computing power , is 100 times the current supercomputer "K " . While the race to develop supercomputers in the world followed , and the maintenance of domestic technology , supporting the expansion of use due to a manufacturer is likely to become a problem .The next-generation supercomputer , computing power of times the target ( 10 000 times the 1 trillion quintillion - today) 1 exabytes per second . Over the approximately 120 billion yen , and aim to achieve up to around 2020 . I realize the performance of the world's highest level , and that to be able to contribute to solving problems of science and society by simulation of large amount of calculation .As a target a specific example that was compared to the "K " , high-speed , such as crash simulation of ▽ car is utilized for evacuation predicted (1 day and a half → 1 hours ) the flood damage before the tsunami of ▽ earthquake reaches it has set and - efficiency of the design process and significant reductions in crash test cost ( 40 days → 10 hours) by mosquitoes.
Without saying the next fiscal year in order to recapture the seat in the world , and I want working on the development anytime soon .

文部科学省は来年度から、次世代スーパーコンピューター開発を始める。計算能力の目標は、現在のスパコン「京」の１００倍だ。世界でスパコンの開発競争が続く中、国産技術の維持や、ものづくり企業などによる利用の裾野拡大が課題になりそうだ。
　次世代スパコンは、１秒間に１エクサ（１００京・京は１兆の１万倍）回の計算能力が目標。約１２００億円をかけて、２０２０年ごろまでの実現を目指す。世界最高水準の性能を実現し、計算量の大きいシミュレーションによって社会や科学の課題解決に貢献できるようにするという。
　「京」と比べた具体的な目標例として、▽地震時の津波が到達する前に浸水被害を予測（１日半→１時間以内）して避難などに活用▽自動車の衝突シミュレーションなどの高速化（４０日→１０時間）による衝突試験コストの大幅削減や設計プロセスの効率化――などを掲げている。
　世界一の座を奪還すべく来年度と言わず、すぐにでも開発に取り組んでほしいですね。
