All the relevant topics are covered to varying extents, but ge... Aug 6 2018   Exascale scientific applications: scalability and performance portability Straatsma T., Antypas K., Williams T., Chapman&Hall/CRC, Boca Raton, FL, 2018. 608 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-138197-54-1) The TOP500 website (https://www.top500.org) lists the current most powerful computer systems on the planet. The top system at the end of 2017 was capable of more than 125000 teraflops (trillions of floating point operations per second)... Jul 23 2018   Petascale computing (Chapman & Hall/CRC Computational Science Series) Bader D., Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2007. 616 pp.  Type: Book (9781584889090) The term petascale computing denotes massively parallel systems capable of executing 1015--that is, one quadrillion--floating point operations per second. A study published in 2001 predicted the first petas... May 6 2009   Overview of the IBM Blue Gene/P project  IBM Journal of Research and Development 52(1): 199-220, 2008.  Type: Article The IBM Blue Gene/P system (BG/P) is the successor of the Blue Gene/L system. In this new version, the Blue Gene uses quad-processor symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) nodes for both computing and input/output (I/O) activities. The BG/P a...
