Oakleaf-FX has been installed at the Second Research Complex, Kashiwa Campus, The University of Tokyo, located in Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture. In addition to contributing to SCD/ITC’s cutting-edge research in a wide range of scientific and technological fields, the new system will be used in High-Performance Computing (HPC) education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. As a result, it is expected to help train the next generation of leaders in the field of computational science.
