Founded by RIKEN BNL Reserch Center (T.D. Lee Direct.)
Scope
- principal site of computing for PHENIX simulation
- regional Asia computing center
- center for the analysis of spin physics
Architecture
- Essentially follow the architecture of RCF
Construction
- R&D for CC-J started in April ‘98 at RBRC
- Construction will begin in April ‘99 over a three years period
- 1/3 scale of of the CC-J will be operational in late ‘99.
