MATLAB users will be able to utilize the high-performance computing resources of the National Supercomputing Center, which is expected to significantly improve research productivity through large-scale data processing, complex calculations, and AI model learning.

MathWorks, a leading company in technical computing software, signed an agreement with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) at the KISTI Daejeon headquarters on the 22nd to provide MATLAB and MATLAB Parallel Server hosting services.

This agreement aims to advance the National Supercomputing Center’s HPC (High-Performance Computing) services.

The signing ceremony was attended by MathWorks' Executive Director Kim Gwang-sik, KISTI's Director Park Chan-yeol, and other officials from both organizations, who pledged to cooperate to expand the high-performance computing-based research environment.

This agreement makes MATLAB and MATLAB Parallel Server licenses available to educational and research institutions as well as corporate users.

MathWorks also plans to actively support technical training by hosting seminars and workshops to help researchers effectively utilize the HPC environment.

MathWorks Managing Director Kim Gwang-sik said, “This agreement is an important step toward realizing MathWorks’ mission of ‘accelerating the advancement of science and engineering.’”uo; and said, “MATLAB will enable AI and big data researchers to utilize supercomputing resources more efficiently.”

KISTI Director Chan-Yeol Park said, “We expect that the research productivity of domestic researchers will greatly improve through our collaboration with MathWorks,” and “We will continue to provide world-class research infrastructure and strengthen support for researchers.”

Meanwhile, MathWorks will hold a ‘MATLAB on KISTI Supercomputer: Parallel Processing and AI Practical Workshop’ for MATLAB users at the National Supercomputing Center on May 29.

In this workshop, Dr. Woo-Jun Lee from KISTI will introduce how to use MATLAB supercomputers, and Engineer Jun-Sang Eom from MathWorks will share how to use MATLAB parallel servers.

Participants are expected to learn practical applications of MATLAB in a supercomputing environment, and anyone interested is welcome to participate.

Registration is available on the MathWorks official website, and this agreement is expected to expand the research environment based on high-performance computing and increase researcher productivity.
