Priority Issues
JapaneseSocial and scientific priority areas to be tackled by using the supercomputer Fugaku were determined in December 2014 (Priority Issues) and June 2016 (Exploratory Challenges), and research institutions were selected to pursue the goals in these areas. This initiative was completed in March 2020.
