Trends in Industry’s Interest in the Results on Utilization Research of Supercomputers: Download analysis of HPCI User Reports

Abstract

In this research, trends in industrial interest in the results on the innovative High-Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI) utilization research centered on the K computer and the Fugaku were analyzed. So far, in the analysis of downloads (DL) to the HPCI user reports from the industrial world, the analysis is based on the number of DLs only for the industrial use projects and the DL organizations are classified according to the classification of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This research extended the projects other than industrial use, introduced the following new perspectives and methods, and was able to clarify the trend of interest from the industrial world in more detail and comprehensively; (1) Comparison of analyses based on the number of DLs and the number of DL organizations, (2) Introduction of user report attention evaluation indexes which are applicable even if implementation years and types of projects of user reports differ.
