The International Symposium on Supercomputing - New Horizon of
Computational Science was held on September 1-3, 1997 at the
Science MuseuminTokyo,
tocelebrate60-yearbirthdayofProfessorDaiichiroSug imoto, who
hasbeenleadingtheoreticalandnumericalastrophysicsfor 30 years. The
conference coveredexceptionally wide range ofsubjects, to follow
Sugimoto'saccomplishmentsinmanyfields.Onthefirstdaywehadthree
talksonstellarevolutionandsixtalksonstellardynamics. Onthesecond
day, six talks on special-purpose computingand four talks on
large-scale computing in MolecularDynamicswere given.

project, GRAPE-6, whichisapprovedas ofJune 1997. GRAPE-6will be
completed by year 2001 with the peak speed around 200 Tflops. R.
