Hello! I’m Project Assistant Professor Tao.

From March 16 to 18, I participated in the 203rd HPC and 17th QS Joint Research Meeting at the Hokkaido University Academic Exchange Center. The meeting featured presentations on HPC systems, quantum computing, quantum-HPC integration, numerical computation, and related topics.

Project Researcher Omura from our laboratory presented “Implementation of a GPU Resource Reclamation Mechanism for Emergency Computing and Its Practical Evaluation.” Professors Takizawa and Kawai were co-authors. Additionally, Visiting Associate Professor Takahashi also participated as a co-author in “FS3.0: Research on HPCI Operational System Development Plan Looking Toward the Post-Fugaku Era.”

Overall, the meeting covered topics including HPC systems, numerical computation, accelerator computing, performance evaluation, as well as quantum annealing, block encoding, QC and HPC, qubit mapping, FTQC, Fugaku and energy efficiency, LLM utilization technologies, and Ising machines. The intersection of HPC and quantum computing, as well as the operation and integration of next-generation computing infrastructure, were key focal points of this research meeting.

Hello! This is Watanabe, a fourth-year undergraduate student.

We recently had our undergraduate thesis presentation, and Ishihara and I (both B4 students) gave our presentations. We were able to complete them successfully and had meaningful discussions with both students and professors.

Based on the valuable comments we received during the presentation, we will continue working hard on writing our undergraduate thesis and our xSIG paper.
We would like to sincerely thank all the professors and students who supported us with our research and presentation practice.

Hello! I’m Koda, a first-year doctoral student.

The other day, we held a farewell party for M2 students Katayama, Tanizawa, and Yanai, who are graduating this year!
Since it was hard to coordinate everyone’s schedules, we split the farewell party into two sessions, but both were fun and lively!
We wish the M2 students entering the workforce all the best in their future endeavors!

Hello, this is Imai, an M1 student.

On February 17th, the Multidisciplinary Seminar took place, followed by the Techno Festival on February 18th and 19th.
During the Multidisciplinary Seminar, I presented my research findings and future plans to representatives from private companies and other M1 students from different research labs. Additionally, in the Matchmaking Session held within the Techno Festival, I attended company presentations from various businesses to gain a deeper understanding of their work.

Explaining my research in simple terms that non-experts could understand was quite challenging, but it was a great learning experience. Furthermore, listening to other students’ research and the company presentations broadened my perspective, making the event highly valuable.

I will continue to work hard on my research, taking into account the feedback I received!

Hello, this is Tanizawa, an M2 student.
The final master’s thesis defense was held recently. In Takizawa Laboratory, Katayama, Yanai, and I each gave our presentations. I’m happy to say that we all finished successfully and were able to submit the duplicate copies of our theses by the deadline.
Using the helpful feedback we received from the examiners, I’ll keep refining my thesis as we work toward submitting the final official version.
I’d like to give a big thank you to the professors and everyone in the lab — both seniors and juniors — for supporting us with revisions and presentation practice. I really appreciate all your help!
