The Belle experiment operates at the KEKB accelerator, a high luminosity asymmetric energy e+ e- collider. The Belle collaboration studies CP violations in decays of B mesons to answer one of the fundamental questions of Nature, the matter-anti-matter ...

Parallel applications combine the power of a large number of commodity processors to solve a single problem, distributing their global data structures throughout the memory of all participating clustered computers. As such, they can benefit greatly from ...

We present a novel approach for using high performance network attached parallel storage for out-of-core computation. Our approach utilizes many parallel disks and storage controllers with a near 1:1 ratio of compute nodes to storage servers. This, when ...

The Evolving Stories Project builds database driven story spaces designed to elicit interaction from a participating public. Stories change and grow with each (re)mediation, much like oral tradition, only now the collective memory resides in the ...

I will describe and demonstrate the "Meeting List Tool", a shared application built with the Access Grid Toolkit for use in AG meetings.At present, the two most common ways of sharing text-based information during an AG meeting are shared presentations ...

TigerboardAG is a shared whiteboard/presentation application that uses the Access Grid environment to allow participants to quickly present and annotate slides, images, documents, or even a blank page. The goal is to combine commonly used presentation ...

We have developed a novel analytic capability for scientists and engineers to obtain insight from ongoing large-scale parallel unstructured mesh simulations running on thousands of processors. The breakthrough is made possible by a new approach that ...

Experts in advanced system technologies will predict the design of the best HPC Storage Systems in 2020. They will defend why they think the technology they select will be the winning technology 15 years from now. The panelists will pick one set of ...

High performance computing architectures are changing dramatically. Traditional multi-processor, large memory systems may still be the mainstay in the majority of data centers world-wide but new innovations in system design are rivaling these ...

A presentation of the Tera-10 system, the number 1 supercomputer in Europe (and number 5 in the world according to the TOP500® ranking of June 2006), designed and installed by Bull for CEA, France's Atomic Energy Authority. This presentation will cover ...

The "VM Turntable" demonstrator at SC05 and SC06 pioneers the integration of Virtual Machines (VMs) with deterministic "lightpath" network services (www.nortel.com/drac) across metro and wide area networks. The integration provides for a new stage of ...

In order to ensure end-user satisfaction in a network-centric world, network providers and managers must ensure that applications run properly over Wide Area Networks. Today's end-users are quite savvy. They realize that application performance is not ...

As developers address the shift towards multi-core processors they are encountering the challenges of debugging hybrid applications that are both multi-threaded and multi-process. Hybrid applications, which share memory among threads on a node but pass ...

In this presentation, we will describe key features of Allinea's Distributed Debugging Tool (DDT) and its Optimization and Profiling Tool (OPT). We will reveal innovative new features that will help transform the way people debug and optimize parallel ...

In June 2006 Microsoft in conjunction with NCSA completed a Top 500 benchmark on a 900 processor Dell PowerEdge 1855 cluster running Windows CCS Version one. The result was a 4.1 Tflop Rmax number; placing this cluster at number 130 in the July 2006 Top ...

Star-P is a unique technology offered by Interactive Supercomputing after nurturing at MIT. Star-P through its clever abstractions is solving the ease of use problem that has plagued supercomputing. Given that there have been around 30 parallel MATLABs ...

The IMSL Fortran library has long supported parallel computing with MPI. As IMSL has progressed to more platforms like C, Java and .NET, our support for MPI has not, but there are tools available to parallelize IMSL solutions on these platforms. These ...

In today's complex, competitive, and regulated global economy, scientific and commercial organizations alike need to innovate quickly, speed time to results, improve product quality, and reduce risks for their communities and their shareholders. At the ...

Intel Pentium 4 floating-point capability made x86 systems viable for technical computing. AMD Opteron introduced 64-bit addressing and extended register sets. Intel EM64T added SSE3. These features have all gradually been adopted by both Intel and AMD. ...
