High Performance Computing on Vector Systems 2005: Proceedings of the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart, March 2005

Buy
In March 2005 about 40 scientists from Europe, Japan and the US came together the second time to discuss ways to achieve sustained performance on supercomputers in the range of Teraflops. The workshop held at the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) was the second of this kind. The first one had been held in May 2004. At both workshops hardware and software issues were presented and applications were discussed that have the potential to scale and achieve a very high level of sustained performance.

The workshops are part of a collaboration formed to bring to life a concept that was developed in 2000 at HLRS and called the “Teraflop Workbench”. The purpose of the collaboration into which HLRS and NEC entered in 2004 was to turn this concept into a real tool for scientists and engineers. Two main goals were set out by both partners:

• To show for a variety of applications from different fields that a sustained level of performance in the range of several Teraflops is possible.
• To show that different platforms (vector based systems, cluster systems) can be coupled to create a hybrid supercomputer system from which applications can harness an even higher level of sustained performance.

In 2004 both partners signed an agreement for the “Teraflop Workbench Project” that provides hardware and software resources worth about 6 MEuro (about 7 Million $ US) to users and in addition provides the funding for 6 scientists for 5 years. These scientists are working together with application developers and users to tune their applications. Furthermore, this working group looks into existing algorithms in order to identify bottlenecks with respect to modern architectures. Wherever necessary these algorithms are improved, optimized, or even new algorithms are developed.

The Man Who Loved Only Numbers
The Man Who Loved Only Numbers

An affectionate if impressionistic portrayal of one of the century's greatest and strangest mathematicians. Though little known among nonmathematicians, Erdos, who died in 1996 at age 83, was a legend among his colleagues. According to Hoffman (Archimedes' Revenge, 1988), the Hungarian was so devoted to mathematics that he went without...
