Foil 78 Large Scale Numerical Computing

From General Collection of Foils for CRPC Annual Meeting CRPC Annual Meeting -- 14-17 May 1996 Argonne. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 RSA Factoring-by-Web -- collaboration with Arjen Lenstra and Boston/CSC. New NFS factoring algorithm successfully applied to RSA130 factoring on a tree of Web+CGI servers (FAFNER by Jim Cowie/CSC). SC'95 Teraflop Challenge Award. Next Challenge -- RSA155.
2 WebHPF -- Web front-end to HPF compiler and PVM-based distributed runtime. Supports CASE tools for program development, process management and performance monitoring.
3 Adaptive Mesh Refinement -- planned WebVM/WebFlow application to support Grand Challenge PDE solvers. Includes static AMR trees specified by visual authoring and dynamic trees, implemented via interactive scripting modules.
4 Visible->Virtual Human -- 3D reconstruction of the human body, based on the image database from the National Library of Medicine. Currently implemented is color segmentation stage (embarrassingly parallel), to be followed by WebVM/WebFlow based algorithms with non-trivial internode communication (surface reconstruction, object labelling and grouping).
