Contemporary High Performance Computing

Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale, Volume 3 focuses on the ecosystems surrounding the world’s leading centers for high performance computing (HPC). It covers many of the important factors involved in each ecosystem: computer architectures, software, applications, facilities, and sponsors.

This third volume will be a continuation of the two previous volumes, and will include other HPC ecosystems using the same chapter outline: description of a flagship system, major application workloads, facilities, and sponsors.

Features:

• 
  
  
• Describes many prominent, international systems in HPC from 2015 through 2017 including each system’s hardware and software architecture
• 
  
  
  
  
• Covers facilities for each system including power and cooling
•
