Argonne Leadership Computing Facility
"Developing capability applications on the Blue Gene/P"

DATE: November 11, 2010
TIME: 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
SPEAKER: Mark Cheeseman, Computational Scientist, KAUST Supercomputing Laboratory
LOCATION: Building 240 / Conference Room 4301, Argonne National Laboratory
HOST: Kalyan Kumaran

Description:
The King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is a research-oriented graduate-level institution that houses seven core research labs. One is these fundamental research facilities is the KAUST Supercomputing Laboratory (KSL) which currently hosts the most powerful supercomputer in the Middle East. KSL's mission is to further the ambitious research goals of KAUST by providing researchers world-class supercomputing hardware and human support.

This presentation will overview two capability projects currently over development at KSL. One project is the development of a turbulent combustion code traditionally used as a capability code into a capability application. The second project is the design and creation of a highly scalable acoustics wave propagation application by KSL computational scientists. Both projects produced interesting results in terms of performance of the Blue Gene/P platform and commonly used libraries used in the BG/P platform.
