Abstract
We present a framework for a high level toolkit for solving partial
differential equations. The requirements for very large and complex PDE
applications such as computational fluid dynamics and numerical relativity
are examined in the framework of a modular toolkit approach based on visual
programming. We address some of the principal non-numerical technical
challenges : software integration, scheduling and distribution of the
computation over a metacomputer. We also discus some of the challenges
found in creating run-time support systems and parallel grid generation
modules for future systems.
