Synopsis

With this second issue of "High Performance Computing on Vector Systems ~ Proceedings of the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart" we con­ tinue our publication of most recent results in high performance computing and innovative architecture. Together with our book series on "High Perfor­ mance Computing in Science and Engineering'06 - Transactions of the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart" this book gives an overview of the most recent developments in high performance computing and its use in scientific and engineering applications. This second issue covers presentations and papers given by scientists in two workshops held at Stuttgart and Tokyo in spring and summer 2006. These workshops are held as part of a collaboration of NEC and HLRS in the "T- aflop Workbench Project" and many of the papers stem from users of the large NEC SX~8 vector systems installed at Stuttgart. At the forefront of research has been the question of how to achieve a high level of sustained performance on vector supercomputers.

About this title

Synopsis

The book presents the state of the art in high performance computing and simulation on modern supercomputer architectures. It covers trends in high performance application software development in general and specifically for parallel vector architectures. The contributions cover among others the field of computational fluid dynamics, physics, chemistry, and meteorology. Innovative application fields like reactive flow simulations and nano technology are presented. Furthermore, the use of supercomputers in the growing field of medical simulations is shown. All papers were chosen from presentations given at the fourth Teraflop Workbench Project Workshop held at the Hochstleistungsrechenzentrum Stuttgart (HLRS) in March 2006.
