Center for Advanced Computation

Recently, scientific computation is growing to be very important than ever in making new findings and verifying analytic solutions because problem sizes are too big, complex, and time consuming to solve.

Consequently, large-scale scientific computation is now indispensable for almost all research fields from elementary particle physics to cosmology.

In KIAS there are several research areas of fundamental science that require heavy scientific computations such as quantum informatics, protein structure study and bio-physics, mathematical information science, astrophysics and cosmology, statistical & condensed physics, and high energy particle physics (accelerator and QCD).

Established in December 2010, the KIAS Center for Advanced Computation is trying to provide KIAS scientists and collaborators with an optimal tool for large-scale scientific computation.
