AHPCRC (Army High Performance Computing Research Center) Bulletin. Volume 2, Issue 1

Abstract

High performance computing (HPC), once the sole province of room-sized supercomputers, now also includes clusters built from commercially available components. Multiprocessor personal computers are now commonplace, and personal multicore parallel-processing machines are likely in the foreseeable future. At present, the parallel codes required by HPC machines are largely custom-built and optimized for each cluster configuration or supercomputer on which they run. Researchers in AHPCRC Technical Area 4 focus on improving processes for developing scalable, accurate parallel programs that are easily ported from one machine to another and that can be optimized for resource-efficient performance in a variety of computing environments. They do this by analyzing the performance of programs as they execute; developing hardware and software capabilities in tandem; and developing algorithms that work well for modeling, simulation, and problem-solving in a variety of HPC environments.
