Seeking a few Research Scientists or Postdoctoral Researchers (26-795)(High Performance Artificial Intelligence Systems Research Team)

About this position

[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]

• Background of the recruitment and description of the project

The RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), led by Center Director Satoshi Matsuoka, are threefold, centered around supercomputing: one is to target high performance computation itself as a scientific objective, or namely, the "Science of Computing"; another is to apply the enormous computational power thus obtained to solve difficult scientific problems, or namely the "Science by Computing"; finally, to collaborate with other scientific disciplines that contribute to advances in both sciences, or namely, the "Science for Computing. Our goal is to be recognized as one of the global leadership research centers to advance high-end computational science in this regard.

The High Performance Artificial Intelligence Systems Research Team is an R-CCS laboratory: Conducts research on high performance systems – software – algorithms to speed up AI applications based on large-scale and massively parallel systems in the context of “HPC for AI”, using cutting-edge supercomputers, such as Fugaku, and advanced high-performance computing infrastructures. Explores elemental technologies for “AI for HPC”: AI optimizes various functions of HPC systems, such as resource scheduling, electrical power control, program execution, etc. For these, aims to “mutually improve AI/machine learning and high-performance computing”, in collaboration with other research institutions working on HPC and AI in Japan.
