Report on the RIKEN International HPC Summer School 2025 - Toward Society 5.0

On Sep 16, 17, 29, 30, and Oct 1, 2025, five days, the RIKEN International HPC Summer School 2025 was held online. The summer school was first held in FY 2018 as a program to interest students and young researchers in entering the field of computing and related technology, and this year’s summer school was the sixth time the program was held. (There was no summer school in FY 2019 due to IHPCSS being held in Kobe.) This year’s summer school had a total of 23 participants, including students (graduate students), and researchers.

Participants learned about parallel programming and execution methods and the skills they need to master them through lectures by Deputy Director Kengo Nakajima (RIKEN) and Team Principal Toshiyuki Imamura (RIKEN). Participants also had the opportunity to experience hands-on training sessions with Wisteria/BDEC-01 Odyssey (Wisteria-O/The University of Tokyo).
