High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering '11

The book "High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering '11" provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of simulation on supercomputers. Leading researchers present the results achieved in 2011 at the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS). The reports cover a wide range of areas in computational science and engineering, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), computational physics and chemistry, as well as computer science, with a particular focus on industrially relevant applications. The book allows readers to compare the performance levels and usability of various architectures, as HLRS operates both a large cluster system and one of the largest NEC vector systems in the world. Additionally, the main methods of high-performance computing are discussed, and the outstanding results in achieving peak performance for production codes are of particular interest to scientists and engineers. The book is rich in color illustrations and result tables.
