HANAMI - A Bridge between Europe and Japan

In this episode, France Boiled-Cerneux (CEA) and Mario Acosta (BSC) discuss with Matvey Fridman (HLRS) about the HANAMI project. They explore the project's goals of enhancing collaboration between Europe and Japan in high-performance computing (HPC), focusing on three scientific pillars: material science, biomedical research, and climate modeling. The conversation delves into the structure of the project, innovations arising from collaboration, the importance of HPC in climate science, and the challenges faced in integrating different systems. The episode concludes with insights on the impact of Hanami on the wider HPC community and the sustainability of its achievements beyond the project's duration.
