Sybiotic Parallel Language and Application Development for Massively Parallel Scientific Computation

9307315施纳贝尔这个项目致力于让大规模并行的MIMD计算机更容易使用，并被应用科学家和工程师使用。现在看来，就内存和速度而言，大规模并行、分布式内存的MIMD机器要么是，要么很快就会成为可用的最强大的超级计算机。然而，到目前为止，由于缺乏易于使用、高效和可移植的编程支持，应用程序科学家对它们的使用受到了严重阻碍。科学家和工程师天生不愿将他们的应用程序转移到新的计算环境，这也阻碍了它的发展。这一建议通过共生开发语言、编译器和运行时对并行科学编程的支持，以及在计算流体动力学和优化方面开发大量并行科学应用程序，解决了这两个问题。

9307315 Schnabel This project is concerned with making massively parallel MIMD computers more usable and used by application scientists and engineers. It now seems clear that massively parallel, distributed memory MIMD machines either are or soon will be the most powerful supercomputers available, in terms of memory and speed. So far, however, their use by applications scientists has been seriously hampered by the lack of easy-to-use, efficient, and portable programming support. It has also been hampered by the natural reluctance of scientists and engineers to move their applications to a new computing environment. This proposal addressed both of these problems, through the symbiotic development of language, compiler, and run-time support for parallel scientific programming, along with the development of substantial parallel scientific applications in computational fluid dynamics and optimization.
