520 _aPreface In the eight years since the introduction of the first Japanese supercomputers in 1983, supercomputing in Japan has made quite impressive progress on a number of different fronts. Although the high performance general purpose Imachines from Fujitsu, Hitachi and NEC are better known, a wide variety of parallel machines have also been investigated, from distributed memory multiprocessors for specific physical calculations to the first large scale dataflow computers. We have attempted to bring together, for the first time, a collection of papers representative of the state of supercomputing in Japan at the beginning of the 1990s. Our approach was to survey the present status of japanese supercom puting, dividing the papers in three sections: Architectures and Systems, Languages and Compilers; and Applications. In the first section, we intro-duce the latest supercomputers from each of the major manufacturers. Even though much of the high performance of the Japanese supercomputers can be attributed to advances in hardware technology, it is important to note that the underlying software technology, described in Languages and Compilers, is a critical factor in overall performance. Finally, we explore some of the areas where supercomputers are used as tools for advancing the state-of-the-art in science and engineering in Japan.
