High Performance Computing

Abstract

<p>High-performance computing (HPC) uses computer clusters and supercomputers to solve problems requiring complex computations or many iterations of a computation with ranges of multiple parameters. Often these huge computations produce large amounts of data that must be analyzed interactively. This project investigates the challenges of programming for the HPC environment and intelligently visualizing the data. We will show our work in progress for specific challenges being investigated by the Air Force Research Lab through the Tec"Edge Discovery Lab that will require greater reliance on HPC. This project is organized and conducted at the Wright Brother's Institute Tec"Edge Discovery Lab as a collaboration of AFRL and WSU to give students an opportunity for "experiential learning" under AFRL's Academic Leadership Pipeline Scholarship (ALPS) program.</p><p>This presentation occurred at the Wright State University Campus-Wide Celebration of Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities on April 16, 2010</p>
