It started to develop the next generation of supercomputers.

From next year , RIKEN to undertake the development of next-generation supercomputer with improved 100-fold of the Kei to computational speed . Operationalization of the world 's highest level goal in 2020 . I realize a large-scale simulation , super-fast in a variety of fields such as disaster prevention and drug discovery , to help maintain the international competitiveness of Japan .
Computational speed of Kei ( Kei 10,000 times a trillion ) per second Kyoto 510 trillion times . Next-generation increased to 100 times that of today, the number of calculations increased to 100 Kyokai this can be done at the same time . Performance is significantly improved in this combined effect . Calculation Refine drug candidates from the compounds of the 10,000 species , take five months two years in Kyoto , but complete in five and a half days of only 1/160 .
Research to capture the complex and the formation of dark matter of the universe was only treated as a single phenomenon , such as the supernova explosion also realized. To explore in an integrated manner epic story of origin and evolution of the universe , it seems we can .
In addition , the design of ultra-fine electronic components based and real-time prediction ultra-high accuracy of guerrilla heavy rain , damage estimation of wide-area complex disaster that eliminates the oversight of " unexpected " in a scenario where more than one thousand , to the movement of one electron such as research progresses by leaps and bounds in many areas .
Huge power consumption 's problem , but reduced to 30 to 40 megawatts of several times the Kyoto performance improvement of the semiconductor . At 140 billion yen of two premium of Kyoto , the total project cost does not exceed the Kyoto also floor area required for installing . I said that given the performance , as well as supercomputers of energy and resource conservation .
Next-generation supercomputer is 100 Kei-kyu , aims to start operation of '20 also around the United States and Europe , China is also planning . Essential next-generation machine for Japan to maintain the international competitiveness of top-class science and industry , and will continue to rich social life .
Performance of Kyoto was the world leader in '11 , but I was overtaken by the United States the following year . Hirao the Director of RIKEN Computational Science Research Institute has said, " do not say it would take the world's best in next-generation evaluation method , so they change with age , but with the aim of supercomputers most useful in the world" and .
By all means, please do your best in order to supercomputer in the world's most useful development of supercomputer because it leads to the improvement of dating competitiveness of Japan .


理研は来年度から、計算速度を京の１００倍に向上させた次世代スパコンの開発に着手する。２０２０年に世界最高水準での運用開始が目標だ。創薬や防災などの多様な分野で大規模、超高速のシミュレーションを実現し、日本の国際競争力の維持に役立てる。
　京の計算速度は毎秒１京５１０兆回（京は１兆の１万倍）。次世代機はこれを１００京回に引き上げ、同時に行える計算の数も京の１００倍に増やす。この複合効果で性能は格段に向上。１万種の化合物から薬剤候補を絞り込む計算は、京では２年５カ月かかるが、１６０分の１のわずか５日半で完了する。
　単独の現象として扱うしかなかった宇宙の暗黒物質の形成や、超新星爆発などを複合的にとらえる研究も実現。宇宙の起源や進化の壮大なストーリーを統合的に探ることができそうだ。
　このほか、ゲリラ豪雨の超高精度なリアルタイム予測や、１千を超すシナリオで「想定外」の見落としをなくす広域複合災害の被害想定、電子１個の動きまで踏まえた超微細な電子部品の設計など、多くの分野で研究が飛躍的に進む。
　膨大な消費電力が課題だが、半導体の性能向上で京の数倍の３０～４０メガワットに抑える。総事業費も京の２割増の１４００億円で、設置に必要な床面積も京を上回らない。性能を考えれば、省エネ・省資源のスパコンともいえる。
　１００京級の次世代スパコンは、米国や欧州も２０年ごろの運用開始を目指しており、中国も計画している。日本が科学や産業でトップクラスの国際競争力を維持し、豊かな社会生活を続けていくためには次世代機が欠かせない。
　京の性能は１１年に世界首位だったが、翌年に米国に抜かれた。理研計算科学研究機構の平尾機構長は「評価法は時代で変わるので次世代機で世界一を取るとは言わないが、世界で最も役に立つスパコンを目指す」と話している。
　スパコンの開発が日本の交際競争力の向上にもつながりますからぜひ、世界でもっとも有用なスパコンにすべく頑張ってください。
