Foil 28 CPS713 Case Study II) Computer Science Support for CFD and NR -- Portable Scalable Software Tools

From Overview of CFD and Numerical Relativity Case Study CPSP713 -- Autumn Semester 1994. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Portable means runs on (nearly) all of today's high performance (parallel) computers
2 Scalable means code written today will run on future high performance machines
  • These current and future machines include networks of workstations as well as integrated massively parallel machines
3 High Performance Fortran and C++ ; scalable data parallel support
4 Fortran-M and CC++ ; scalable support of task parallelism
5 AVS ; industry standard for visualization and software integration
6 PVM and MPI ; standard message passing support
7 ADIFOR ; differentiate Fortran code ; critical tool for optimization problems
8 Prototyping Software ; needs development of Interpreters and other tools
