Expectation for Utilizing Supercomputers in Natural Radiation Research

抄録

In Japan, there are 33 types of supercomputers with registered specifications. One of these is jointly owned by the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). This supercomputer has been used in some studies, and information on using it in other research (i.e., natural radiation research) is limited. This supercomputer was used to perform two cases related to natural radiation research (Case 1–Monte Carlo radiation transport calculation and Case 2–Building Artificial Intelligence image recognition model) in this study. This study describes the expected benefits and drawbacks of using this supercomputer from the viewpoint of general natural radiation researchers.
