ARPA-NSF Workshop: Scalable Scientific Software Libraries and Problem Solving Environments, Purdue University, September 25-27, l995

这次研讨会讨论了为基于偏微分方程(PDE)的应用程序构建问题解决环境(PSES)的问题，更具体地说，是为可扩展的偏微分方程式(PDE)库的组件启动一套共同的社区标准的开发。没有天然的论坛来建立这样的标准，但它们对于为基于PDE的应用程序建立PSE方面的进展是必不可少的。这些软件系统的规模和复杂性要求构建人员能够使用其他团队开发的组件。这次研讨会的成果有三种类型：(1)汇编研讨会上提交的材料的会议记录；(2)提交给IEEE计算科学和工程的研讨会概述论文；以及(3)由五到十人组成的一系列较小的后续会议，他们将为可伸缩的PDE库的组件指定、分析和提出社区标准。这些标准将建立在子领域的现有标准之上，例如线性代数(ScaLAPAK)和并行计算(例如，HPF、MPI)。

This workshop addressed issues in building problem solving environments (PSEs) for partial differential equation (PDE) based applications and, more concretely, initiating a development of a set of common community standards for the components of scaleable PDE libraries. There is no natural forum for establishing such standards and yet they are essential to progress in building PSEs for PDE based applications. The size and complexity of these software systems require that builders be able to use components developed by other groups. The results of this workshop are of three types: (1) A proceedings which compiles the material presented at the workshop, (2) a workshop overview paper to be submitted to IEEE Computational Science and Engineering, and (3) A series of smaller follow-on meetings of a group of five to ten people who will specify, analyze, and propose community standards for components of scalable PDE libraries. These standards, will build on existing standards from sub-areas such as linear algebra (ScaLAPAK) and parallel computing (e.g., HPF, MPI).
