In recent years, with the incredible increase of computing power, we can simulate accurately macro-scale phenomena based on the laws which govern micro-scale phenomena.For example, if we fully utilize the computing capability of the K computer, it is possible to simulate the behavior of a human heart and how it responds to medicine at the cellular level, and to calculate the efficiency of an electric motor by simulating the characteristics of its magnetic material.However, a problem arises because we must control more than tens of thousands of parallel processes properly in order to get high performance out of the recent supercomputers.For this reason, new computation techniques based on both the latest scientific findings and the understanding of supercomputer architecture are required.In this report, we introduce four applications as our approach to the problem described above.
