RIKEN HPCI Program for Computational Life Sciences (HPCI)
- Program Director:
- Toshio Yanagida
- (Ph.D.)
The RIKEN HPCI Program for Computational Life Sciences promotes R&D activities making full use of the powerful K computer, and establishes new infrastructure to promote computational science and technology. The R&D activities focus on large-scale simulations and analyses of biological processes for the prediction of biological phenomena. Processes such as molecular transport across biological membranes, protein/DNA interaction, and signal transduction can be analyzed and simulated using high-performance computers and provide invaluable insights into key processes in biology. The program is part of an initiative funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), aimed at yielding significant social and academic breakthroughs in five strategic fields, using Japan’s powerful computing infrastructure.
