In modern research and development, as well as in the medical field, it has become essential to combine "diverse types of data (multimodality)" and seamlessly observe the "hierarchies from micro to macro (multiscale)." However, integrating complex data for high-precision analysis often requires advanced programming skills and specialized knowledge... The solution to such challenges is the 3D visualization platform "Dragonfly," developed by the Canadian company Comet Technologies. This time, we will introduce its overwhelming features and appeal!

[On-Site Report] Latest Trends in HPC and AI at COMPUTEX 2026 The world's largest computer technology exhibition, "COMPUTEX 2026," was held in Taipei, Taiwan. Applied has dispatched employees to the site to directly observe the latest products and technologies presented by manufacturers from around the world. The venue was filled with many visitors from the entrance to each exhibition booth and the aisles, creating an exhibition that allowed us to feel the high interest in next-generation technologies, including AI, and the excitement of the global market. When one thinks of COMPUTEX, it may evoke an impression of an event centered around PCs and gaming products. However, the venue showcased numerous technologies directly related to manufacturing, research and development, and various businesses, including AI, HPC, data centers, robotics, and edge computing. In this report, we will introduce noteworthy technologies that support future AI development and research environments from the unique perspective of Applied, a manufacturer of HPC, workstations, and AI servers, focusing on GPU computing, AI servers, cooling technologies, and infrastructure for data centers.

From June 8 (Monday) to June 12 (Friday), 2026, the "2026 Annual Conference of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI2026)" was held at G-Messe Gunma. At this conference, where cutting-edge AI technologies and researchers gathered, we also showcased and demonstrated our latest AI workstations and practical solutions. We welcomed many visitors each day, and we are excited to share the vibrant atmosphere of the exhibition hall that concluded successfully!

The R&D (research and development) field in manufacturing and mobility development is currently undergoing a significant transformation. The amount of data to be processed and the complexity of simulations are exploding due to the societal implementation of autonomous driving, advanced mobility control in smart cities, and the digital twin of manufacturing processes. In this AX (AI Transformation) era, the key to dramatically shortening the lead time for research and development is the "DGX B200" and "DGX B300" equipped with NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture. In this column, we will explain the technological breakthroughs they bring from two perspectives: "acceleration of CAE" and "autonomous driving simulation."

Applied will be exhibiting at the "Robotics and Mechatronics Conference 2026 in Fukuoka," which will be held from June 28 (Sunday) to July 1 (Wednesday), 2026. Official website: https://robomech.org During the event, we will propose the latest computing environment (HPC environment) that is essential for the advancement of AI and robotics research. This time, taking advantage of our local presence, we are excited to introduce the latest computing environment that supports your research activities. We look forward to this valuable opportunity to directly showcase our offerings. Researchers and stakeholders coming from all over the country, please be sure to stop by our booth when you visit. We sincerely await your arrival.

JSAI2026 is one of the largest academic events in Japan, organized by the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence. This year marks a significant milestone with its 40th anniversary, featuring a special program that provides an overview of past technological trends, as well as covering the "hottest" topics such as the evolution of generative AI and embodied AI. In the research of increasingly complex large language models (LLMs) and multimodal AI, the evolution is supported by a computing infrastructure that boasts overwhelming performance. At our booth, we will present the latest computing technologies to accelerate the next generation of AI research. Let's create a special five days together to discuss the future of AI in Japan, alongside the special program for the 40th anniversary.
