7. One solution is
❖ Supercomputer
❖ In the case of FX10,
• CPU: 16 cores
• Memory: 32 GByte
× 4,800 nodes

8. However…
❖ The adoption rate for HPC is still low.

9. Prof. Chiba says
❖ Via collaboration of CREST project,
9
We can use Java, Ruby
and Python on FX10!

10. Case Study
❖ Evaluate the impact that HPC can have
on MSR analyses.
❖ Apply HPC (FX10) to Code Clone
Detection.

11. Code Clone
❖ A code fragment that has identical or
similar code fragments

copy%and%paste copy%and%paste
code%clone
clone%fragment
clone%fragment
clone%fragment

12. Type-3 Clones
❖ Programmers often make some changes
to code fragments after copy-and-paste.
