Grand Challenge in Life Science on K Computer

In 2006, we started a grand challenge project called ISLiM for K computer to demonstrate its performance. The ISLiM stands for Integrated Simulation of Living Matter to reproduce life phenomena on a supercomputer for understanding them and developing new medicine or new treatments. We have 6 research teams: Molecular scale team, cell scale team, organ and body scale team, data analysis fusion team, brain and neural system team and HPC team. We are developing a high performance software package for life science for K computer which contains 31 application software. Currently two third of them are running on K computer and several ones shows more than 30 percent of theoretical peak performance of K computer.
