Morgenrot and JAXA Enter into Joint Development Agreement Aiming to maximize space R&D’s high-performance computing operational efficiency

TOKYO – Morgenrot Inc. and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), both headquartered in Tokyo, have signed a joint research agreement to establish optimal use and operation of high-performance computing (HPC) systems. In the research and development, JAXA is using Morgenrot’s M:Arthur™ cloud-based HPC job management solution to operate its HPC systems at high utilization rates.

 

The agreement’s two main objectives are improving JAXA HPC systems’ operational efficiency and developing statistical analysis methods for individual jobs (running of applications). To do so, Morgenrot seeks to develop methods of obtaining and visualizing job execution status and resource usage. Meanwhile, enhancement of HPC systems’ operational methods will improve the efficiency of hardware resource usage and job execution.

 

“We are thrilled to have this opportunity to work with JAXA, a world-leading space research and development organization,” Morgenrot CEO Ryuei Morimoto says. “M:Arthur, our software platform for maximizing HPC operations, will boost JAXA’s computing efficiency, enabling it to complete more jobs at a lower cost.”

 

M:Arthur™ (https://morgenrot.net/services/) is Morgenrot’s proprietary HPC job management solution, easily used by installing an agent on the managed server. It optimizes and centralizes HPC system management, enabling the visualization of various information to understand usage trends and solve operational issues. M:Arthur™ also reduces communication costs by providing a unified information source for all HPC users, administrators, and maintenance personnel, ensuring efficient system utilization and cost-effective management.

About JAXA

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) was born through the merger of three institutions, namely the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), the National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan (NAL), and the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA). It was designated as a core performance agency to support the Japanese government’s overall aerospace development and utilization. JAXA, therefore, can conduct integrated operations, from basic research and development to utilization.
