Computer Scientists at ORNL Collect Computing Tools for Next-Generation Machines
Researchers using the OLCF’s resources can foresee substantial changes in their scientific application code development in the near future. Tools developers attempt to make change to hybrid architectures a smooth transition.
Massive Data Parallel Computational Framework for Exascale Hybrid Platforms
In this paper we present an alternative approach: a new computational framework for the development of massively data parallel scientific codes applications suitable for use on such petascale/exascale hybrid systems built upon the highly scalable Cactus framework.
Petaflop biofluidics simulations on a two million-core system
The present work represents a major progress in the predictive capabilities of computer simulations for real-life biofluidic research, with special, yet not exclusive, focus on cardiovascular clinical practice. The scientific and societal impact of the extensions of such activity cannot be overestimated.
