Future directions in scientific supercomputing for computational physics

چکیده
NERSC, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, is a leading scientific computing facility for unclassified research, and has had a significant impact on computational physics in the U.S. Here we will summarize the recent experience at NERSC, and present the four key elements of our strategic plan for the next five years. Significant changes are expected to happen in computational science during this period. Supercomputer centers worldwide must continue to enhance their successful role as centers that bridge the gap between advanced development in computer science and mathematics on one hand, and scientific research in the physical, chemical, biological, and earth sciences on the other. Implementing such a strategy will position NERSC and other centers in the U.S. to continue to enhance the scientific productivity of the computational physics community, and to be an indispensable tool for scientific discovery. © 2001 Elsevier Science.

Promises and Pitfalls of Reconfigurable Supercomputing
Reconfigurable supercomputing (RSC) combines programmable logic chips with high performance microprocessors, all communicating over a high bandwidth, low latency interconnection network. Reconfigurable hardware has demonstrated an order of magnitude speedup on compute-intensive kernels in science and engineering. However, translating high level algorithms to programmable hardware is a formidabl...

متن کاملLocal supercomputing training in the computational sciences using remote national centers
Local training for high performance computing using remote national supercomputing centers is quite different from training at the centers themselves or using local machines. The local site computing and communication resources are a fraction of those available at the national centers. However, training at the local site has the potential of training more computational science and engineering s...
