Today, computational science is an indispensable research methodology in the basic and applied sciences and contributes significantly to the progress of a wide variety of scientific research fields. For multidisciplinary computational science based on the fusion of computational and computer sciences, frequent and regular opportunities for communication and collaboration are essential. The Center for Computational Sciences (CCS) at the University of Tsukuba aims to promote such collaborations between different research fields. In this symposium, plenary speakers from various fields of computational science will present research frontiers in forms comprehensible to researchers and graduate students from other disciplines. In 2010, the CCS was recognized under the Advanced Interdisciplinary Computational Science Collaboration Initiative (AISCI) by MEXT, and has since provided the use of its computational facilities to researchers nationwide through the Multidisciplinary Cooperative Research Program (MCRP). In addition to the invited talks, this symposium will feature poster presentations highlighting research results achieved through the MCRP.
Furthermore, this year marks the 30th anniversary of CP-PACS, the University of Tsukuba’s parallel computer system, achieving the No. 1 position on the TOP500 list. To commemorate this milestone, a special lecture will also be held.
