Scientific Areas
HANAMI will develop a sustainable ecosystem bringing together climate, biomedical and materials science communities operating in the area of HPC and parallel computing.
Climate and Weather Modelling
HANAMI will establish common benchmarks to measure the performance and replicability of weather and climate models across different HPC platforms. This will contribute to further improvement and sustainability of the world-leading models in both Japan and Europe.
Materials Science
The HANAMI collaboration between Japan and Europe aims to progress discovery and enhance sustainability of materials for energy production and storage. To reach this objective, materials scientists develop innovative computational tools to advance large scale simulations towards the optimization of materials for cleaner energy solutions.
Biomedical Science
The HANAMI researchers will integrate new methods for computing long-range interactions as well as for the integration of experimental and machine-learning information into European and Japanese biomolecular simulation packages. Furthermore, computational fluid dynamics simulations of respiratory flows are combined with machine-learning techniques for improved treatments of respiratory diseases and analyses of infection risks in indoor scenarios. These approaches are further enhanced by multiscale simulations of cell populations, which are becoming a powerful tool for exploring complex biological systems and understanding the interactions between molecular and tissue alterations in common human diseases. The research in these fields will ensure that biomolecular, cellular and organ-level respiratory simulations can make efficient use of current and future European and Japanese supercomputers and can target larger, more complex problems in life sciences.
