The K computer - Toward its productive applications to our life

This article consists of a collection of slides from the author's conference presentation. The author concludes that HPC technology is essential for sustainable human life in the future and we have to promote HPC activities more and more. By K's powerful and stable computing capability, we expect useful results in science and engineering and break-through in research and development. We should pursue more realistic simulations by the future system. Japan will continue to contribute to HPC community.
