Can
Computer Science help Simulation Scientists ?
•There are classic computational science areas based high performance parallel computers and the software needed to use them
–Cluster of PC’s to Teraflop machines in CSIT or DoD DoE NSF Centers
–Nifty
algorithms
•New languages such as Java (Grande) optimized
for performance
•Information Technology can benefit simulations in many
ways:
•XML based scientific
(meta)data standards to allow sensor data access to modern tools and support interoperability
•Convenient access to multiple (super)computers and
technology to integrate diverse
simulations and data sources
–Portal or “Problem
Solving Environment”
•Customization of generic portal services like
real-time collaboration
•We will
look at this for a couple of examples
