High Performance Computing Systems and Applications

Major advances in computing are occurring at an ever-increasing pace. This is especially so in the area of high performance computing (HPC). This text is a record of HPCS '98, the 12th Annual Symposium on High Performance Computing Systems and Applications. It presents recent research in HPC architecture, networking, applications and tools. Of special note are the sections on computational biology and physics.The text should be suitable as a secondary text for a graduate-level course on computer architecture and networking, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.
