Ishiyama Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab runs computations of the universe on supercomputers and interprets the resulting data.

AboutAbout the lab
Refining supercomputer computation to get closer to the structure of the universe.
Ishiyama Lab studies computational methods for numerical simulations run on large-scale supercomputers, as well as methods for operating computing systems.
Methods for analyzing and visualizing the enormous amounts of data produced by simulations are also research subjects.
The main application is the universe: the lab investigates the formation and evolution of various structures in the universe, such as dark matter and galaxies.
The lab also works on analyzing simulations using machine learning.
Key terms
- Numerical simulation
- A method that reproduces how a phenomenon changes by computing equations such as physical laws on a computer.
- Dark matter
- Matter that does not emit light and cannot be seen directly, but whose existence is inferred from its gravitational effects.
- Parallel algorithm
- A procedure that splits work among many CPUs and computes simultaneously in order to solve a problem faster.
ResearchResearch themes
Ishiyama Lab studies computational methods for numerical simulations run on large-scale supercomputers, and methods for analyzing and visualizing the enormous amounts of data obtained from them. The main application is the universe, and the lab also works on analyzing simulations using machine learning.
*Illustrative imageMethods for Fast Computation on Supercomputers
The lab studies high-speed computation on supercomputers with tens of thousands of CPUs or more, such as Fugaku. It uses GPUs and SIMD operations to speed up basic algorithms such as sorting and to develop parallel algorithms, and it also deals with methods for operating PC clusters.
*Illustrative imageAnalyzing and Visualizing Big Data
The lab studies methods for analyzing and visualizing petabyte-scale data obtained from large-scale simulations on supercomputers. The main target is the universe, where the lab investigates the formation and evolution of various structures such as dark matter and galaxies.
*Illustrative imageSimulation and Machine Learning
The lab works on using machine learning to improve the accuracy of numerical simulations. It is also pursuing research that uses simulations as training data to extract more information from real data.
