Advanced Laboratory Facilities
Information Systems
Campus NetworkThe campus network at JAIST is built with high-speed, layer-3 core switches located at the Research Center for Advanced Computing Infrastructure. In addition to the backbone switches, the floor switches also run at 10Gbps, which enables very comfortable network access to any servers, anywhere in JAIST. The same information environment is also provided on JAIST Tokyo Satellite. Outside of JAIST, through SINET4 and WIDE Project Research networks, high-speed access to Tokyo and Osaka over 10Gbps network bandwidth is available.
Network Operation Center
SecuritySecurity management is quite important today. Robust firewall, virus check and SPAM blocking systems provide secure communication over the campus network. Further, the center provides the PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) system for authentication of incoming access to the campus network and secure e-mail service.

Massively parallel processing systemCray XT5 System
Massively parallel processing (MPP) is a term used in computer architecture to refer to a computer system with many independent arithmetic units (or entire micro-processors) that run in parallel. MPP systems are designed for large scale scientific computing. The picture shows the Cray XT5 system at JAIST, with 256 computing nodes, interconnected in 3D torus, for a 2,048 core system with 4TB memory. At JAIST, computer systems with various architectures are available for users’computing needs.

High – Speed, Large –Capacity File Severs SystemsTo provide a reliable file storage environment, we are running highspeed, large-capacity file server systems in parallel. Through the highspeed campus network, researchers and students can utilize the information system from any computer at JAIST without changing their individual computer environment. Data backup is provided automatically by the systems, so each user can maintain their focus on research or study. Depending on the needs of users, they can select among a variety of file servers.
