The mapped rivers and streams of the contiguous United States are available in a
geographic information system (GIS) dataset called National Hydrography Dataset Plus …

Floods are among the most frequent and most costly natural catastrophes. Major floods
worldwide generated costs over US $ 200Billion in the 1990s alone whereas the summer …

The evolution of parallel architectures points to dynamic environments where the number of
available resources or configurations may vary during the execution of applications. This …

Current HPC environments require parallel programs that are both malleable and fault-
tolerant. Malleability denotes the ability to embrace system-initiated resource changes, and …

Invasive Computing enables a resource-aware programming style, which includes adapting
to external resource changes similar to malleability. We introduce asynchronously-malleable …

The LPJ dynamic global vegetation and hydrology model with river routing is implemented
on a compute cluster in order to reduce the overall computation time. In order to achieve this …

Job scheduling and resource management plays an essential role in high-performance
computing. Supercomputing resources are usually managed by a batch system, which is …

Large-scale MPI programs must work with dynamic and heterogeneous resources. While
many of the involved issues can be handled by the MPI implementation, some must be dealt …

The first version of MPI (Message Passing Interface) was released in 1994. At that time,
scientific applications for HPC (High Performance Computing) were characterized by a static …

Zusammenfassung Die Anzahl an Rechenknoten in Hochleistungsrechnern wächst stetig. In
solchen Systemen nimmt die Bedeutung von Fehlertoleranz zu, da die Wahrscheinlichkeit …
