Foil 11 Some Comments on Simulation and HPCC

From Introduction to Computational Science CPS615 Computational Science Class -- Spring Semester 2000. by Geoffrey C. Fox


HPCC is a maturing field with many organizations installing large scale systems
These include NSF (academic computations) with PACI activity, DoE (Dept of Energy) with ASCI and DoD (Defense) with Modernization
There are new applications with new algorithmic challenges
  • Web Search and Hosting Applications
  • Our work on Black Holes has novel adaptive meshes
  • On earthquake simulation, new "fast multipole" approaches to a problem not tackled this way before
  • On financial modeling, new Monte Carlo methods for complex options
These have many new issues but typically issue is integrating new systems and not some new mathematical idea
