High Performance Computing, Computational Grids, and Numerical Libraries.
Jack Dongarra
Grid Day, Thursday 12th, 14.15 - 15.00
 
Abstract

In this talk we will look at how High Performance computing has changed over the last 10-year and look toward the future in terms of trends. In addition, we advocate the `Computational Grids' to support `large-scale' applications. These must provide transparent access to the complex mix of resources - computational, networking, and storage - that can be provided through aggregation of resources.
The vision is of uniform, location independent, and transient access to the
  • Computational
  • Catalogued data
  • Instrument system
  • Human collaborator
resources of contemporary research activity in order to facilitate the solution of large-scale, complex, multi-institutional/multidisciplinary data and computational based problems.
It envisages these resources being accessible through a Problem Solving Environment appropriate to the target community.
