Supercomputer Applications by Robert W Numrich
For the past three years, Control Data has cosponsored an applications symposium at one of its CYBER 205 customer sites. Approximately 125 participants from North America and Europe attended each of the three symposia. The Institute for Computational Studies at Colorado State University hosted the first symposium at Fort Collins, Colorado, August 12-13, 1982. The second annual symposium took place in Lanham, Maryland, and was hosted by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This volume contains the proceedings of the Supercomputer Applications symposium held October 31-November 1, 1984, at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. The purpose of this volume is to provide a forum for users of Control Data's CYBER 205 supercomputer to exchange common experiences and to discuss results of research projects performed on the computer. The unifying theme across the many disciplines is the development of methods and techniques to exploit the computational power of the CYBER 205. Some- what surprisingly, these techniques are quite similar and apply to a wide range of problems in physics, chemistry, and engineering.
Robert Numrich's professional career has been a study of computational methods for high-performance, scientific computing, starting with his PhD. thesis in theoretical chemistry at the University of Minnesota, continuing at Control Data Corporation designing vector algorithms for the Cyber-205, then at Cray Research developing performance models for the Cray-2 and Cray-3 computers. As a member of the core design team for the Cray-T3D and Cray-T3E, he developed the co-array parallel programming model. After Cray, he held a senior research position at the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute, where he continued work on parallel algorithms and developed performance models using the methods of dimensional analysis. He continued this work as Senior Scientist at the High-Performance Computing Center, City University of New York, and currently holds a position as Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the CUNY Graduate Center. This book is a summary of the important ideas he has learned, developed, and used throughout his career.
