High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering, Munich 2004: Transactions of the Second Joint HLRB and KONWIHR Status and Result Workshop, Marc [Paperback]

Leading-edge research groups in the field of scientific computing present their outstanding projects using the High Performance Computer in Bavaria (HLRB), Hitachi SR8000-F1, one of the top-level supercomputers for academic research in Germany. The projects address modelling and simulation in the disciplines Biosciences, Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Solid-State Physics, High-Energy Physics, Astrophysics, Geophysics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and Computer Science. The authors describe their scientific background, their resource requirements with respect to top-level supercomputers, and their methods for efficient utilization of the costly high-performance computing power. Contributions of interdisciplinary research projects that have been supported by the Competence Network for Scientific High Performance Computing in Bavaria (KONWIHR) complete the broad range of supercomputer research and applications covered by this volume.Performance and Tools.- Performance of Scientific Applications on Modern Supercomputers.- A Lightweight Dynamic Application Monitor for SMP Clusters.- gridlib  A Parallel, Object-oriented Framework for Hierarchical-hybrid Grid Structures in Technical Simulation and Scientific Visualization.- Computational Fluid Dynamics.- Preface.- Fully Three-Dimensional Coupling of Fluid and Thin-Walled Structures.- Efficiency of Lattice Boltzmann Codes as Moderate Reynolds Number Turbulence Solvers.- Testing of Closure Assumption for Fully Developed Turbulent Channel Flow with the Aid of a Lattice Boltzmann Simulation.- High-Performance Computing in Turbulence Research: Separated Flow Past an Airfoil at High Angle of Attack.- DNS of Passive Scalar Transport in Turbulent Supersonic Channel Flow.- A Coupled DNS/Monte-Carlo Solver for Dilute Suspensions of Brownian Fibres in Turbulent Channel Flow.- Large-Eddy-Simulation of an Airfoil at Re = 20000 Using Cartesian Grids.- Interactive CFD Simulation by Coupling Supercomputers with Virtual Reality.- Boundary Llu
