Joint Center for Advanced High Performance Computing (JCAHPC) was established in 2013 under agreement between the Center for Computational Sciences at the University of Tsukuba (CCS) and the Information Technology Center at the University of Tokyo (ITC), in order to design, operate and manage a next-generation supercomputer system provided by both two universities.

JCAHPC’s new system is named “Oakforest-PACS” with 8,208 of next-generation manycore processors developed by Intel Corporation, and is planned to start its full operation on December 1st, 2016.

The Oakforest-PACS ranks in the 3rd position in the HPCG benchmark and in the 6th position in the TOP500 list at SC16 in Salt Lake City!
