The Supercomputing Division, Information Technology Center, The University of Tokyo (http://www.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/) was originally established as the Supercomputing Center of the University of Tokyo in 1965, making it the oldest academic supercomputer center in Japan. The Information Technology Center (ITC) was organized in 1999, and the Supercomputing Center became the Supercomputing Division (SCD) of the ITC, joining three other divisions at that time. ITC is also a core organization of the “Joint Usage/Research Center for Interdisciplinary Large-Scale Information Infrastructures” project, and a part of HPCI (the High-Performance Computing Infrastructure) operated by the Japanese Government. The three main missions of SCD/ITC are (i) providing services for supercomputer operations and supporting supercomputer users, (ii) doing research, and (iii) providing education and training. Currently, SCD/ITC consists of more than 10 faculty members. SCD/ITC is now operating five supercomputer systems, a Hitachi SR16000/M1 based on Power7 architecture with 54.9 TFLOPS of peak performance (Yayoi), a Fujitsu PRIMEHPC FX10 System (Oakleaf-fx) with 1.13 PFLOPS, another Fujitsu PRIMEHPC FX10 System (Oakbridge-fx) with 136.2 TFLOPS for long-time execution, Integrated Supercomputer System for Data Analyses & Scientific Simulations (Reedbush) by SGI with 1.80-1.93 PFLOPS, and the Manycore-based Large-scale Supercomputer System (Oakforest-PACS aka. PostT2K) by Fujitsu with 25 PFLOPS as JCAHPC.
