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
-
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
|
|
However these are not "qualitatively" new concepts
|
Software ideas are "sound" but note simulation is only a few percent of total computer market and software immature
-
Use where possible software from other sources (such as web)which can spend more money on each feature!
