The K computer Day was held at MQM 2013 on June 6th - Switzerland

About 70 people participated in the K computer Day on June 6th in 2013 which was held as a part of MQM(7th Molecular Quantum Mechanics 2013) in Switzerland.

At first, Dr. Hirao, director of RIKEN AICS, delivered a talk about the K computer and its initial outcomes. Secondly Dr. Shoji from RIKEN AICS provided the introduction to the K computer, including hardware and software aspects as well as how to use it. For the 3rd session, Mr. Aoki from Fujitsu provided a talk about how to get the best performance from massively parallel computer.

We had exhibitions of the system board and CPU of the K computer which was brought from Japan for the event. The most asked question was about how people in overseas can apply for the K computer use.
