Abstract of Computational Science Presentation

From CPS615-Introduction-Course,Driving Technology and HPCC Current Status and Futures CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox, (Some Culler, Koelbel material) *
1 We Introduce Computational Science and Driving Forces
  • Technology Advances and Commodity Trends
  • Inevitability of Parallelism
  • Integration of Distributed and Parallel Computing
  • Comparison with Internetics
2 We give a simple overview of parallel architectures today with distributed, shared or distributed shared memory
3 We describe data, functional and pleasing parallelism
4 We describe principles of parallel programming using atmospheric simulation as an example
5 We describe the growing importance of Java
6 We explain pragmatic choices
  • MPI with Fortran and C today
  • Java Grande is future?
