Characteristics of HPC
Previous: Key Difficulties in
The group collective experience covered a number of applications areas in science and engineering. From the summarised applications list in section A, we identified the following interesting characteristics of scientific and engineering applications:
These characteristics arose time and again in many of the HPCC vignettes the group discussed (see section 3. A key issue was that HPCC software should be well engineered just the same as software for conventional platforms is if it is to be suited for use in industry and commerce.
