Description

Book Synopsis

HPC is used to solve a number of complex questions in computational and data-intensive sciences. These questions include the simulation and modeling of physical phenomena, such as climate change, energy production, drug design, global security, and materials design; the analysis of large data sets such as those in genome sequencing, astronomical observation, and cybersecurity; and the intricate design of engineered products, such as airplanes and automobiles.



This second volume of Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale continues to document international HPC ecosystems, including the sponsors and sites that host them. Each chapter is punctuated with a site''s flagship system and:





  • Presents highlights of applications, workloads, and benchmarks


  • Describes hardware architectures, system software, and programming systems


  • Explores storage, visualization, and analytics<

    Trade Review
    Praise for the First Volume "Jeffrey S. Vetter has organized and edited a definitive state-of-the-practice volume on high-end high performance computing (HPC), as it exists right now. What is provided is an insider's view of major HPC ecosystems, in a world where petascale computing is the reality. ... Consistent editing and parallel presentations contribute to the usefulness of this volume. Numerous figures and tables complement the text. ... [It is] an important reference for the high-end HPC community." -Computing Reviews, July 2013
