Hello, my name is Ide, M2.
I recently attended the international conference PDCAT held from December 7 to 9.
PDCAT is a conference on HPC applications and technologies and has been held in various countries, but the 23rd conference was held in Sendai.

Three members of Takizawa Laboratory presented at the conference. Here are their impressions of the conference.

Jin Yifan: Hello, this is D1 student Jin Yifan.
At PDCAT22, I had the privilege of presenting my research, Towards Priority-Flexible Task Mapping for Heterogeneous Multi-Core NUMA system, as a regular paper.
I received many valuable questions and comments.
I will further improve my existing work based on them.As an audience, I also enjoyed the conference.
The presentations and posters brought by the other participants were very interesting.
They helped me to keep up to date with the latest trends in my field of research.

Sugawara: This was my first conference in a face-to-face format, but I was able to complete my presentation without any major mistakes. I think it was a great experience for me as a student.

Ide: I was quite nervous because I was not used to presenting in English, but I received a lot of advice and opinions, and it was a very valuable experience for me.
I also learned a lot from the presentations and poster sessions by others, listening to a wide range of talks, from fields close to my own research to fields I was not familiar with.

I would like to continue to do my best so that I can further develop my research based on the advice and opinions I received at the conference.

Hi, everyone! My name is Sun Xiangcheng. I am a third grade PhD student of Xi’an Jiaotong University in China. I am really excited to be a member of Takizawa Lab as a special research student since Oct 2022.
Before coming here, my main work was to combine lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) of computational fluid dynamics with high-performance computing (HPC) in engineering applications. I hope to learn some knowledge about high-performance computing, performance evaluation and supercomputing, and make some meaningful progress here.
I appreciate the opportunity this Lab provided. And I am looking forward to communicating with all professors and students here about research and culture!

Hello!
I am Nakai, a first-year master’s student.
I have just participated in the 187th HPC workshop held at the Okinawa Industry Support Center on December 1 and 2.
I was very nervous because it was my first presentation at a research meeting.
Based on the comments I received from the participants, I will do my best in my future research life.

Hello, this is Koda from B4.

The other day, as the summer vacation was over, all the students did a big cleanup of the laboratory.
The cleaning included air conditioner filters, servers, and other areas that cannot be cleaned in the normal laboratory cleaning process.

I hope we can continue to do periodic cleanups to make our lab environment even better!

Wassapon Watanakeesuntorn, a Ph.D. student from the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) in Nara, Japan, visited our laboratory. While his stay at our laboratory from September 6 to 16, he interacted with students and also gave a talk about his Ph.D. research.
He told us that he enjoyed visiting several tourist spots around Sendai over the weekend. Below is a photo of grilled beef tongue, one of the specialities of Sendai, taken by Wassapon.
