Satoshi Matsuoka has been the director of Riken Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), the top-tier national HPC center of Japan, since April 2018, developing and hosting Japan’s flagship Fugaku supercomputer, which became the fastest supercomputer in the world in all four major supercomputer rankings (Top500, HPCG, HPL-AI, Graph500) in 2020 and 2021. He continues his research activities in HPC as well as scalable big data and AI at both R-CCS and the Tokyo Institute of Technology, where he is also a professor. There, he was the leader of the TSUBAME series of supercomputers that also received international acclaim.

Matsuoka is a Fellow of ACM, ISC, JSSST, and IPSJ. He received the ACM Gordon Bell Prize in 2011 and 2021, the IEEE Sidney Fernbach Memorial Award in 2014, and the IEEE Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award in 2022 — some of the highest honors in the field of HPC.
