CCMS

　Since the first introduction of the supercomputing system in 1994, CCMS has renovated the supercomputing system five times, and it has been used by the researchers of materials science field as a collaborative research institute in the Institute for Materials Research (IMR). In 2009, CCMS established frameworks as a domestic collaborative research institute and has contributed to producing a wide variety of creative and innovative achievements in materials science field by providing computational resources to materials science researchers. Furthermore, in 2018, CCMS was certified as an international collaborative research institute.
　The system renovation in 2025 makes it possible to provide new computational resources which satisfy diverse research needs such as multi-scale simulations, many-core-server based super-large scale parallel computing, and GPU-based “AI for Science”, in addition to the conventional demands such as prediction of physical phenomena and materials design. This renovation aims at contributing to the creation of a well-being society as the future vision of humanity, as well as the realization of carbon neutrality, resilient nations, and Society 5.0. CCMS also hopes to contribute to advancing the computational materials science field and community in the world by releasing leading-edge research outcomes obtained by the maximum utilization of our supercomputing system.
　Furthermore, CCMS provides the computational resources to the researchers who participate in the projects of “Program for Promoting Researches on the Supercomputer Fugaku” and “Data Creation and Utilization Type Material Research and Development Project (DxMT)” as a project of “Supercomputing Consortium for Computational Materials Science (SCCMS)”. CCMS also organizes “Professional development Consortium for Computational Materials Scientists (PCoMS)” for developing young professionals and “Computational Materials Science Forum (CMSF)” for providing active supports for the promotion of computational materials science community.
