NAMD is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high‐performance simulation of
large biomolecular systems. NAMD scales to hundreds of processors on high‐end parallel …

This paper presents a novel disk storage architecture called DCD, Disk Caching Disk, for the
purpose of optimizing I/O performance. The main idea of the DCD is to use a small log disk …

Parallel machines with an extremely large number of processors are now in operation. For
example, the IBM BlueGene/L machine with 128K processors is currently being deployed. It …

Adaptive scientific simulations require that periodic repartitioning occur dynamically
throughout the course of the computation. The repartitionings should be computed so as to …

Due to the impressive price-performance of today's PC-based graphics accelerator cards,
Sandia National Laboratories is attempting to use PC clusters to render extremely large data …

This book highlights the use of Charm++ in a wide variety of scientific and engineering
fields. It emphasizes the adaptivity, asynchrony, and message-driven execution of Charm++ …

We describe the design of a flexible load balancing framework and runtime software system
for supporting the development of adaptive applications on distributed-memory parallel …

Current multilevel repartitioning schemes tend to perform well on certain types of problems
while obtaining worse results for other types of problems. We present two new multilevel …

Parallel mesh generation is a relatively new research area between the boundaries of two
scientific computing disciplines: computational geometry and parallel computing. In this …

Although intensive work has been done in the area of load balancing, the grid computing
environment is different from the traditional parallel systems, which prevents existing load …
