Interim Report on the Joint Study of Earth Simulator Center and Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association(<Special Topics>Earth Simulator)

Abstract

The present study named ES-CAR Project (earth simulation+car) is being carried out jointly by the Earth Simulator Center (hereafter "ESC") and the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association ("JAMA") for the period from June 2004 to March 2006. With the help of ESC's massively parallel supercomputer system, the ES-CAR Project is aimed at outlining a nextgeneration vehicle performance simulation that can be put to good use from around 2010 or 3 to 5 years after the project's 2006 completion. Introduced in this interim report are the history, FY 2004 activities, and scheduled FY 2005 activities of the ES-CAR Project.
