Japan’s University of Tokyo and University of Tsukuba collaboratively created the Joint Center for Advanced High Performance Computing (JCAHPC) to centralize their supercomputing resources, giving them increased computational capabilities for advanced research across a wide range of disciplines. The more than 8000- node machine, built on Intel® Xeon PhiTM Processors and Intel® Omni-Path Architecture (Intel® OPA) is the fastest supercomputer in Japan and 7 th in the world, according to the Top500. Challenge Supercomputers are costly, but they are necessary resources to support innovative science and engineering in the world’s leading institutions of academia. Without HPC, these institutions lose their ability to stay at the competitive forefront of research, and with it, the fundi
