Chinese nationals dominate the 140,000 international tertiary students in Japan now.

excerpt:
The University of Tokyo opened an office in the high-tech Indian city of Bangalore on Monday to recruit local students. While about 1,000 Chinese and about 600 South Korean students were studying at the university as of May last year, there were only 35 Indians....Indians account for fewer than 600 of the 140,000 foreign students enrolled at Japanese universities.

Japan Times: Top University in Japan Plans to Shift Undergraduate Enrollment to Fall
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20120218f1.html
excerpt:
The University of Tokyo's move [to shift undergraduate enrollment from spring to autumn] would have a far broader and deeper effect on Japanese society and force authorities to amend long-established practices, notably the season when companies recruit graduates and the timing of various national examinations, such as those medical students take in February to qualify for a medical license.

Japan HE dominates QS's 'Asian Ranking' of Universities
Japanese universities dominate the entire Asian set, but only one Japanese university makes it into the top five--that is, University of Tokyo.
QS rankings are now independent of the THES rankings. This Asian rankings list makes for an interesting preview of the world rankings for 2011, which will come out later this year, in direct competition with THES's for our attention. One question that comes to mind is this: If University of Tokyo is number four in Asia, will it even make the top twenty of QS's world rankings?

ARWU World Rankings not much better for Japan's universities
To sum up the ARWU results in terms of Japanese universities:
1. One institution makes the top 20--Tokyo University. However, Todai fell from 19 in 2008 to 20 this year.
2. Kyoto University is in the top 30 at 24, but slipped from 23 in 2008.
3. Osaka, Nagoya and Tohoku are all in the top 100, at 71, 82, and 84, respectively. Tokyo Institute of Technology, unlike the QS table, IS NOT in the top 100.
4. Todai and Kyodai are still considered the top two universities for the Asia/Pacific region, unlike the findings of the QS results, which puts Australian National University at 17, very much higher than the ARWU's rank of 59.
The ARWU top 20 is:

Japan slips in QS-Times HE world rankings, no top 20 institutions
It's that time of year again--various university league tables and world rankings have been released. This requires analysis from the Japan HEO Blog from a Japan perspective.
From a Japan perspective, the news is MIXED. First, NO Japanese institution gets into this year's QS-Times HE top 20. On the other hand, there are more Japanese universities in the top 100.
At one point in the short history of these rankings, it looked like Japan's most well known university, Tokyo University (Todai), was going to make a run at the top 10, making it the true 'Harvard of the East'.
However, Todai has slipped out of the top 20 now. This could be explained by QS-Times HE changing their criteria some, with the changes penalizing non-Anglophone Todai and Japan. It might also, at least in part, be attributed to Todai's decreased ability to sponsor exchange with scholars and researchers overseas. And this decline could then be linked to overall less funding where it counts from the national government, now that the national universities (at the top of which heap Todai is always placed) are now administratively independent in the status of 'national university corporations' (NUCs)--at least somewhat, at least in theory, anyway. On the other hand, the fact that two other national universities have surged into the top 100 might indicate that the government is doing a better job in getting the NUCs to share the funding--perhaps. Perhaps one aspect worth a closer look is how Japan's elite private universities fared. None are in the top 100, but are any rising or entering the top 200? That is worth a future post here at the Japan HEO Blog.
Here are the results that are relevant to the discussion here. See the links for FULL information and all sorts of various rankings, analysis and the criteria. I have added, in the case of the Japanese institutions, last year's rank for comparison purposes.

Waseda University at Center of Efforts to Produce Super Green Processor Chip
If you think of computing and Japanese universities, University of Tokyo comes to mind as being the strongest--in some ways surpassing anything the US has (e.g., TRON OS embedded computing, GRAPE supercomputers, etc.).
However, some large Japanese electronics manufacturers have got behind a government-backed initiative to create an alternative CPU to Wintel. Suprisingly, this initiative is centered on Waseda University, an elite private institution.
Ironically, the end result, if it were to catch on with electronics manufacturers in Japan and the rest of Asia might actually compete more with the TRON project's embedded computing technology at cross-town rival, Todai (embedded TRON OS runs most Japanese electronics).
First below are excerpts and links to two articles giving details on the project and the chip. Last is an excerpt and link to an article that explains how the chip may face problems with manufacturers in others parts of Asia, such as Taiwan and China, a problem for Japan because Taiwan has eclipsed them in portable computing. At stake is the future of mobile and ubiquitous computing and IT, much of which is set to converge on 'info-appliances', which will replace conventional computers in our lives but will also require leaner energy use at the same time.

Japan spending $42m to develop solar-powered ‘super CPU’
Leading domestic companies to jointly work on chip aimed at challenging Intel’s dominance
Yvonne Chan in Hong Kong, BusinessGreen, 08 Sep 2009
A consortium of Japanese companies is developing a CPU for electronics that will use 70 per cent less energy than conventional chips and run on solar energy.
Electronic and IT giants Fujitsu, Toshiba, Panasonic, NEC and Hitachi, along with imaging specialist Canon, are among the firms that have agreed to work on the so-called ‘super CPU’. Their participation in the project will help ensure that standards for the chip, if realised, will be adopted in a broad range of consumer electronics.
Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is backing the initiative. It will provide $32m to $42m (￡19.4m to ￡25.4m) in initial funding, according to Forbes magazine, which cited a Nikkei Business News report published last week.

Japan Fashions Super Chip
Vivian Wai-yin Kwok, 09.03.09, 07:00 AM EDT
To beat their common rival-Intel, Japanese chip producers are sitting down together to design a super CPU.
HONG KONG -- A new super central processing unit (CPU), jointly developed by Japan's big chip makers and funded by the Tokyo government, is coming up to challenge Intel.
Intel's ( INTC - news - people ) engineers might be imagining months of overtime just from hearing the list of allies behind the unprecedented Japanese coalition, which is aimed at inventing an easier and universal software programming across various devices.
The big names in the campaign include Fujitsu, Toshiba ( TOSBF.PK - news - people ), Panasonic, Renesas Technology, NEC ( NIPNY - news - people ), Hitachi ( HIT - news - people ) and Canon ( CAJ - news - people ), which all agreed to pool their resources together to create a new, standardized, power-saving central processing units (CPU) which could be used within the entire industry for a wide range of consumer electronics by the end of fiscal 2012, the evening edition of Nikkei Business News reported Thursday.
The super CPU project, supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, with an initial capital of 3-4 billion yen, will enable the allied Japanese manufacturers to challenge the dominant market share of Intel in the U.S.
Hironori Kasahara, professor of computer science at Waseda University, is the major designer of the Japan's super CPU. In the early development stages, each firm will produce its own CPU that is compatable with the innovative energy-saving software invented by Kasahara.

Motherboard makers pessimistic about new CPU force from Japan

Taiwan-based motherboard makers hold a pessimistic attitude toward recent news that several Japan-based semiconductor players plan to form alliance to develop a new CPU architecture and cut off their heavy dependence on x86 CPUs, due to uncertainties in terms of the total costs of R&D manpower and funding.
