National HPCC Software Exchange

The NHSE is an interdisciplinary effort to facilitate the development and distribution of software enabling technologies for high-performance computing and communications (HPCC), and is a major technology transfer program of the Center for Research on Parallel Computation.

As well as starting from the NHSE home page, you can take some shortcuts from the following list of material developed for the NHSE by the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center at Syracuse University.

Domain-Specific Repositories

The NHSE aims to provide a set of repositories of software and information targeted at particular fields. NPAC is developing domain-specific repositories in the following areas:

Chemistry
Random Number Generators

High Performance Fortran

We are also acting as beta-testers for the Repository in a Box software and information, being developed by the NHSE for use by software repository maintainers.

Roadmaps and Guides

One of NPAC's main tasks for the NHSE is to provide guidance to users trying to find information and software that will enable them to use high-performance computers for their particular applications. This information is presented in

A Roadmap to HPCC Applications and Technology
Currently the main sections of the roadmap that have been developed are for the following areas:

Cluster Computing
High Performance Fortran
Optimization
Random Number Generators
Other information provided in the roadmap includes:

A Glossary of HPCC Terminology
A Survey of HPCC Hardware Systems

Software Reviews

As well as providing reviews of individual software packages, the NHSE provides review articles on available HPCC software and technologies for specific application areas in the NHSE Review, an electronic journal on the Web. NPAC has contributed the following review articles:
