Supercomputing is an important science and technology that enables the scientist or the engineer to simulate numerically very complex physical phenomena related to large-scale scientific, industrial and military applications. It has made considerable progress since the first NATO Workshop on High-Speed Computation in 1983 (Vol. 7 of the same series). This book is a collection of papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Trondheim, Norway, in June 1989. It presents key research issues related to: - hardware systems, architecture and performance; - compilers and programming tools; - user environments and visualization; - algorithms and applications. Contributions include critical evaluations of the state-of-the-art and many original research results.

This uniquely comprehensive book brings together the vast amount of technical, economic, and political information and the analyses of supercomputing that have hitherto been buried in the frequently inaccessible "gray literature." Seventy-nine distinguished participants in the second Frontiers of Supercomputing conference offer perceptive and often controversial views on the emerging computing environment in the United States. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 28th International Supercomputing Conference, ISC 2013, held in Leipzig, Germany, in June 2013. The 35 revised full papers presented together were carefully reviewed and selected from 89 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: scalable applications with 50K+ cores; performance improvements in algorithms; accelerators; performance analysis and optimization; library development; administration and management of supercomputers; energy efficiency; parallel I/O; grid and cloud.

The authors argue that the word "Supercomputer" can only be defined in relation to a changing landscape and that the device can be considered the most powerful computer available at any time. They offer some statistics about supercomputers and discuss the potential impact of the supercomputer on space research, weather, animation, and other branches of business and science. The appendix contains a listing of supercomputer locations in the United States. ISBN 0-15-186787-9: $19.95.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Supercomputing, ISUM 2019, held in Monterrey, Mexico, in March 2019. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on HPC architecture, networks, system software, algorithmic techniques, modeling and system tools, clouds, distributed computing, big data, data analytics, visualization and storage, applications for science and engineering, and emer- ging technologies.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 29th International Supercomputing Conference, ISC 2014, held in Leipzig, Germany, in June 2014.
