 Working Group report on industrial and engineering applications
|
10-05-2012 | 1 MB |
| This deliverable reports on the synthesis of work and main outcomes identified by the working Group dedicated to Industrial and engineering applications. HPC Use in Industry Industry is in the midst of a new, 21st century industrial revolution driven by the application of computer technology to industrial and business problems. HPC already plays a key role in designing and improving many industrial products — including automobiles, airplanes, pharmaceutical drugs, microprocessors, computers, implantable medical devices, golf clubs, and household appliances — as well as industrial-business processes (e.g., finding and extracting oil and gas, manufacturing consumer products, modeling complex financial scenarios and investment instruments, planning store inventories for large retail chains, creating animated films, and forecasting the weather). .... |

Working Group Report on Weather, Climate and solid Earth Sciences
|
10-05-2012 | 701 kB |
| This document provides a roadmap towards Exascale computing from the Weather, Climate and solid Earth Science (WCES) community perspective. It highlights specific needs, requirements and expectations coming from these application (driver) domains in the Exascale timeframe. The WCES roadmap has been organized according to the following main sections: - Earth Science Models; - Data Intensive applications in Earth Science; - Cross-cutting dimensions; - WCES impacts and findings at European Level. |

Working Group Report on Fundamental Sciences (Chemistry, Physics)
|
10-05-2012 | 1 MB |
| This report provides an overview of current trends, future perspectives and needs in compute resources and software development in the field of fundamental sciences, i.e., astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear-, hadron- and high energy physics, plasma physics, fusion research, quantum chemistry, atomic physics, soft matter research and materials sciences. The report is the result of two expert meetings, held in January 2011 in Paris and April 2011 in Brussels, as well as a questionnaire addressed to the group of experts involved into the working group. |

Working Group report on life Science and Health activities
|
10-05-2012 | 991 kB |
| The WG 3.4 is focused on HPC applications for Life Sciences and Health. The Life Science community is very diverse and there is a large unbalance between the large size of experimentalists/biologists (that strongly depends on computational results) and the small size of computational biologists (that depend heavily on HPC resources). For this reason the work of computational biologists has a “multiplicative” effect on Life Sciences. The goal of computational biology and bioinformatics is to understand the mechanisms of living systems. With the recent advances in this area (e.g. next generation of DNA sequencing instruments) the generated data is becoming larger and more complex. In contrast to other communities there are no universal computer packages and software evolves very fast to adapt to new instruments. The problems faced by scientists working in molecular simulations and genomics are also very different, as are the computer algorithms used. The importance of having fast and flexible access to very large computational resources is crucial in the many fields of Life Sciences and the lack of suitable computers can block entire projects with important consequences for science and the society. Discussions in the panel were lively and very productive. |

Working Group Report on Hardware roadmap, links and vendors
|
10-05-2012 | 2 MB |
| This report contributes to the EESI objectives by providing a detailed cartography of Research and Development (R&D) activities of European and international HPC technology providers. Present HPC vendor R&D activities are described and technology provider research projects targeting the many Peta- to ExaFlop/s performance regime are assessed. Deficiencies in current HPC technology provider roadmaps are assessed. Furthermore the severity of these deficiencies is judged and HPC technologies which should be investigated in an international context and topics which need special European support are identified. |

Working Group report on numerical libraries, solvers and algorithms
|
10-05-2012 | 420 kB |
| This deliverable contains the final report of the Working Group 4.3 on Numerical Libraries, Solvers, and Algorithms. We discuss issues that need to be addressed for exascale computing and outline areas of competitiveness of European research and software development. We suggest possible funding needs for this area. |
