Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Method of Splitting Tsunami (MOST) is a numerical solver of Shallow Water Equations (SWEs), which is used for forecasting tsunami. Tsunami Simulation using MOST is usually run with a supercomputer, however it is difficult to take a rapid responce to disaster with such a large-scale computing system. One of the solutions to this problem is development of a compact system with custom computing machines. In this paper, we use Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) as a platform to build a custom computing machine of Tsunami simulation based on MOST. We design Stream Processing Element (SPE) as a hardware SWEs solver by using our stream-computation hardware compiler, called SPGen. We implement hardware with a single SPE or two cascaded SPEs on 28nm ALTERA Stratix V FPGA, which achieves 51.8GFlop/s or 103.7GFlop/s, bringing the performance per power of 1.71GFlop/sW or 2.91GFlop/sW, respectively.
