Japan uses supercomputer K to manufacture pharmaceuticals
According to a reporter in Japan, Tokyo University will cooperate with Fujitsu Computer and Stockholm University, Sweden, to effectively develop new drugs using the 'K supercomputer '. 'The fastest in the world built by Japan.

The international team of researchers plans to use a 'K' supercomputer to design drugs by calculating the motion of atoms as components that make up small molecules that can become anticancer drugs. letter.
Japan's K super computer
First, researchers will use another Fujitsu supercomputer to complete the software program developed by Stockholm University and will use the 'K' supercomputer this fall to calculate. The 'K' supercomputer will find antibiotics that can kill cancer cells and will design new medicines before March 2013.
Scientist Tatsuhiko Kodama, professor at the Center for Advanced Science and Technology Research, said the team hopes to contribute to the development of anti-cancer drugs. He said using computers in new pharmaceutical designs is becoming increasingly important.
The 'K' supercomputer continues to be developed by Fujitsu and the Riken Research Institute. Last year, this supercomputer won the world No. 1 in computing speed.
