Satoshi Matsuoka
Satoshi Matsuoka (* around 1964 ) is a Japanese computer scientist and computer architect.
Matsuoka studied computer science at the University of Tokyo with a bachelor's degree in 1986, a master's degree in 1988 and a doctorate in 1993 (Dissertation Language Features for Extensibility and Re-use in Concurrent Object-Oriented Languages ). He was then Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo and from 1996 Associate Professor and from 2001 Professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology at its Global Scientific Information and Computing Center (GSIC). He was also a visiting professor at the National Institute for Computer Science in Tokyo from 2003 to 2013 and a visiting researcher at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (AICS) from 2012 . From 2018 he is director of the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), which is developing the successor to the K computer .
He is the lead developer of the Tsubame line of supercomputers at GSIC. The first of the series went into operation in 2006 and, with 85 teraflops, was the most powerful computer in Japan and Asia for a year and a half. The successor presented in 2008 (Tsubame 1.2) was the first supercomputer with graphics processors (and the computers in the series also received high rankings for their energy efficiency) and Tsubame 2.0 from 2010 reached fourth place in the international performance rating of supercomputers (Top 500, in November 2010 ) and the first computer in Japan to perform petaflop performance. Version 3.0 from 2017 already reached over 8,000 teraflops. He leads several supercomputer projects at the cutting edge of technology in Japan.
He develops system software for large supercomputers (such as grid computing ) and, more recently, for artificial intelligence and big data in high-performance computers (Extreme Big Data project).
In 2014 he received the Sidney Fernbach Award for his work on software systems for high-performance computers on advanced infrastructure platforms, large supercomputers and heterogeneous GPU / CPU supercomputers (laudation). In 2011 he received the Gordon Bell Prize and became a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). In 1999 he received the Sakai Award from the Information Processing Society of Japan and in 2005 the Award from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science . Since 2016 he has been a Fellow of the AI Research Center (AIRC) in Japan. In 2013 he headed the program committee for the ACM / IEEE Supercomputing Conference (SC13).
As a student he developed video games (pinball, rollerball with Satoru Iwata ).
