Information on HBW2 Trial Operation

The supercomputer HOKUSAI BigWaterfall2 (HBW2) has been in trial operation since December 4, 2023.
The trial runs until the end of March 2024, and the deadline for submitting new trial projects is 3:00 p.m. on March 21, 2024.

HBW2 is easy for RIKEN researchers to use and is available free of charge for small-scale use.
