Although the highly anticipated petascale computers of the near
future will perform at an order of magnitude faster than today's
quickest supercomputer, the scaling up of algorithms and
applications for this class of computers remains a tough challenge.
From scalable algorithm design for massive concurrency
toperformance analyses and scientific visualization, Petascale
Computing: Algorithms and Applications captures the state of the
art in high-performance computing algorithms and applications.
Featuring contributions from the world's leading experts in
computational science, this edited collection explores the use of
petascale computers for solving the most difficult scientific and
engineering problems of the current century.
Covering a wide range of important topics, the book illustrates
how petascale computing can be applied to space and Earth science
missions, biological systems, weather prediction, climate science,
disasters, black holes, and gamma ray bursts. It details the
simulation of multiphysics, cosmological evolution, molecular
dynamics, and biomolecules. The book also discusses computational
aspects that include the Uintah framework, Enzo code, multithreaded
algorithms, petaflops, performance analysis tools, multilevel
finite element solvers, finite element code development, Charm++,
and the Cactus framework.
Supplying petascale tools, programming methodologies, and an
eight-page color insert, this volume addresses the challenging
problems of developing application codes that can take advantage of
the architectural features of the new petascale systems in advance
of their first deployment.
