Book Description | 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, , , , Examines the data center/facility as well as system statistics, , , , Featuring pictures of buildings and systems in production, floorplans, and many block diagrams and charts to illustrate system design and performance, Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale, Volume Two delivers a detailed snapshot of the rich history of practice in modern HPC. This book provides a valuable reference for researchers in HPC and computational science. |
Editorial 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 |
