This project will explore issues in designing and implementing a coordination language for multidisciplinary applications. Multidisciplinary applications are becoming increasingly popular among computational scientists, due to their ability to accurately model complex systems involving a variety of multiple disciplines. For example, realistic aircraft modeling is achieved only by coordinating models from different disciplines, such as aerodynamics, propulsion, and structures. While data parallel languages, such as High Performance Fortran, can be successfully applied to many numerical applications, they are ill-equipped to specify and manage the complex coordination required by multidisciplinary applications. Since they lack "Programming-in-the-large" features, most current multidisciplinary applications are executed in a disjoint fashion with file I/O providing the necessary "plumbing" between the various segments of the application. This project will develop an alternative, language-based approach that concentrates on the coordination of the various discipline codes, resulting in a clean and efficient execution model that supports multiple levels of parallelism.

本项目将探讨设计和实现一种多学科应用的协调语言的问题。多学科应用在计算科学家中越来越受欢迎，因为它们能够精确地模拟涉及多种多学科的复杂系统。例如，真实的飞机建模只有通过协调不同学科的模型才能实现，例如空气动力学，推进和结构。虽然数据并行语言，如高性能Fortran，可以成功地应用于许多数值应用程序，但它们在指定和管理多学科应用程序所需的复杂协调方面能力不足。由于它们缺乏“大规模编程”的特性，大多数当前的多学科应用程序是以不连贯的方式执行的，文件I/O在应用程序的各个部分之间提供必要的“管道”。该项目将开发一种可选的、基于语言的方法，该方法集中于各种规程代码的协调，从而产生一个支持多层并行性的干净而有效的执行模型。
