The purpose and recent progress of the Burning Plasma Simulation Initiative (BPSI) are discussed. Simulation of burning plasmas requires integrated modeling of various physics phenomena with wide-ranging spatial and time scales. The activities of the BPSI are of three types: development of the framework for integrated simulation codes, development of integrated modeling of multi-scale physics, and implementation of distributed parallel processing. Similar activities have been reported in the United States and the European Union. Features of the integrated transport code, TASK, being developed as a reference code for BPSI, are also described. Finally, asummary is given and future issues are discussed.
