Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale

Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale, Volume 3 focuses on the ecosystems surrounding the world’s leading centers for high performance computing (HPC). It covers many of the important factors involved in each ecosystem: computer architectures, software, applications, facilities, and sponsors.

This third volume will be a continuation of the two previous volumes, and will include other HPC ecosystems using the same chapter outline: description of a flagship system, major application workloads, facilities, and sponsors.

Features:

Describes many prominent, international systems in HPC from 2015 through 2017 including each system’s hardware and software architecture

Covers facilities for each system including power and cooling

Presents application workloads for each site

Discusses historic and projected trends in technology and applications

Includes contributions from leading experts

Designed for researchers and students in high performance computing, computational science, and related areas, this book provides a valuable guide to the state-of-the art research, trends, and resources in the world of HPC.
