For this research, he won the Young Author Prize at a major international conference. Nearly 30 years later, Professor Kasahara tells us, \u201cI am still pursuing the fastest speeds in the world. I continue research on parallel processing and love the feeling I get when I overcome a challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His latest endeavors have resulted in a multicore processor and parallelizing compiler that utilizes cutting edge multicore processing technology to increase the speed of software all while reducing electricity consumption. With these technological innovations, Professor Kasahara has accomplished something that even the world\u2019s major semiconductor manufacturers could not. His multicore processor and parallelizing compiler is the only one of its kind in the world and offers solutions to problems such as software development costs and heat generation that limits processor speeds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wasedaweekly.jp\/upload\/1602\/%E3%82%B5%E3%83%96%E5%86%99%E7%9C%9F.jpg\" width=\"323\" height=\"230\" \/>Professor Kasahara was the first in the world to create parallelized automobile engine control. His parallelizing technology, which can be used in medicine, cell phones, and the Internet of Things (IoT) will be commercially available this year. &#8220;Industrial-academic collaboration can be difficult, but I wanted to make this technology applicable in the real world. We are about to make this a reality.&#8221; Professor Kasahara has maintained his passion for research for over 30 years and continues to inspire students around him.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/en-news\/34597\">Eco-friendly innovation for automobiles to mobile phones to cancer therapy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Original article from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wasedaweekly.jp\/en\/\">Waseda Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Hironori Kasahara Faculty of Science and Engineering In 1987, Waseda Weekly featured Professor Hiron [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":36933,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[81,117],"tags":[178],"class_list":["post-37219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-topic","tag-research-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37219"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37219\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37221,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37219\/revisions\/37221"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
