Discrete Event Simulation Research Team

Explosive growth of computer performance has been bringing us the better grasp of global society. Now with top computers, a new era of social applications has begun: microscopic simulations of our society. Such top computers with 10PFLOPS or more performance, simulations of billions to trillions of complex elements possible, and the number and their complexity will grow with next Exascale and future Zetascale computers. In such scale, social simulations using models of each human, each vehicle and each transaction distributed and networked in global space, which may be called as microscopic social simulations will also be in scope. This team challenges such microscopic social simulations with K and future computers of Exascale and beyond.
