In astrophysics, stellar systems or galaxies can be thought of as individual particles, as is also the case in plasma physics, hydrodynamics and molecular dynamics. High power computers are being developed to handle these problems. This book describes the structure, performance and applications of the world's most advanced such computer, developed at the University of Tokyo.

This volume reviews recent progress in the study of dynamics of star clusters. The meeting focused on the enormous progress of both the observation and the theoretical modeling of star clusters. New results from the refurbished Hubble Space Telescope (HST) include the mass function down to the hydrogen burning limits, white dwarf sequence, and central density profiles of post-collapse' clusters by star counts. On the theoretical side, this symposium saw the first direct evidence of gravothermal oscillation through N-body simulation, which was made possible by GRAPE-4, the dedicated...
