He received BA, MS and Ph.D in physics from the University of Tokyo. He joined Electrotechnical Laboratory from 1982 to 1991. Then he moved to the Faculty of Science, the University of Tokyo. He is now a professor emeritus and Research Scientist, the University of Tokyo. Dr. Hiraki has been working in both very high-speed computing and very high-speed internet systems. As for very high-speed computing systems, he developed several research computers including FLATS system for algebraic computation, SIGMA-1 for dataflow computation, GRAPE-DR system, which is ranked No.1 at June 2010 Green 500 supercomputer list. As for very high-speed internet system, his group developed basic technology to utilize very long distance, very high-speed network, and built data sharing system called Data Reservoir. Dr. Hiraki’s current interests is a real-time FPGA based artificial intelligence system for bio and medical applications.
