Event

Hello, this is Imai, M1 student.

SWoPP (Summer United Workshops on Parallel, Distributed and Cooperative Processing) was held at Sunport Hall Takamatsu (Takamatsu City Culture and Art Hall) in Kagawa Prefecture from 8/4-8/6. Many workshops were held, including the Workshop xSIG (Cross-disciplinary Workshop on Computing Systems, Infrastructures, and Programming) of the Information Processing Society of Japan, and the HPC workshop.

From our laboratory, M1 students Nomura, Imai presented the following papers at xSIG 2025 held at SWoPP 2025, respectively.

野村 峻也, 劉 佳恒, 高橋 慧智, 滝沢 寛之, “ RISC-Vベクトル拡張における最大ベクトル長とキャッシュ管理手法に関する検討”, xSIG 2025, 2025年8月．

今井 廉, 河合 直聡, 高橋 慧智, 滝沢 寛之, “大規模言語モデルを活用したレガシーコード近代化の実用性”, xSIG 2025, 2025年8月．

Nomura’s presentation received Outstanding Student Effort, and Imai’s presentation received Outstanding Student Award. I am deeply grateful for the invaluable support and mentorship from my professors, and I am now more determined than ever to work hard on my research.

Hello, this is Tanizawa, a second-year master’s student.

The other day, Tohoku University held its Open Campus, and the Takizawa Laboratory took part by presenting right next to the supercomputer AOBA!
This time, we showcased one of the lab’s research projects—flood simulation—on a large screen for all the visitors to see.

We’ll keep working hard so we can present even more exciting research results at next year’s Open Campus!

Hi! It’s Tseng YuTsen, an M2 student.
I just had my final defense for my graduation thesis, which was hard and full of accidents.
Still, thanks to the support of professors, other students in the lab, and many people who have supported me in the past years, it was finished successfully.
I also submitted the first version of my thesis paper and will further refine it, showing the best it can be!

Hello, I’m Imai, an M1 (first-year master’s) student.

We recently kicked off the annual study sessions for our B3 (third-year undergraduate) students here in the Takizawa Lab. For this year’s sessions, three M1 students, including myself, are teaching three B3 students.

Our goal is to help them learn the fundamental knowledge required for students in information technology, which we hope will serve as a cornerstone for their future research endeavors.

Hello. This is Assistant Professor Kawai.
From May 27th to 28th, I participated in the 39th Workshop on Sustained Simulation Performance (WSSP39) held at the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), University of Stuttgart in Germany, together with Professor Takizawa. We each presented our respective research work at the workshop.

WSSP is a biannual event jointly organized by the Cyber Science Center and HLRS to share information and research progress. This year marked the 20th anniversary of the workshop. The photo shows a celebratory cake prepared for the occasion.

The next WSSP is scheduled to be held at the Cyber Science Center. It will be the 40th workshop, coinciding with the 20th anniversary—another significant milestone. We look forward to your participation.

Hello, this is Yanai, a second-year master’s student.
I attended IPDPS 2025, which was held in Milan from June 3 to June 7.
At the co-located workshop JSSPP, I gave a presentation titled “Workflow Batch Job Scheduling with Considering Task Dependencies.”
It was my first time attending an international conference, so I was quite nervous, but I had a very rewarding experience listening to the latest research in the field of HPC.
I will make good use of the insights I gained through this opportunity and continue to work hard on my research going forward.

Hello! I’m Nomura, a first-year master’s student.
I attended COOL Chips 28, held from April 16 to 18, together with Jin.

At COOL Chips, research presentations and discussions mainly focused on computer hardware.
The poster and panel sessions, in particular, were lively and full of engaging discussions, and I had the opportunity to hear many fascinating talks.
I hope to apply the knowledge and experiences I gained through this conference to further advance my research!

Hello, this is Taniwasa, a second-year master’s student.

Our lab seminars have recently started!
With the beginning of this academic year’s lab activities, new fourth-year undergraduate members have also joined us!
I’m sure there are still many things we don’t understand about research, so let’s learn together!

Hello, this is Imai, a first-year master’s student.

From March 17 to 19, I attended the 198th High-Performance Computing Workshop and the 14th Quantum Software Workshop Joint Research Presentation, which was held in Sapporo.
Under the guidance of Professor Kawai, I participated in the conference along with Nomura (M1) and had the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the academic event firsthand.
There were a wide range of presentations, from professors at various universities to students of the same academic year, and I found them all very interesting.
I sincerely appreciate all those involved for providing us with such a valuable opportunity.

I will take this experience as motivation to further dedicate myself to my research!
