Description: This conference proceedings covers an exceptionally wide range of subjects in computational science, from astrophysics to molecular science and from general-purpose high-performance computers to special-purpose computing devices. The unique nature of this book is that the main topic is the interaction between the requirement from application and the design of high-performance computers. In particular, special-purpose computers for molecular dynamics, Lattice QCD, and astrophysics are discussed. This book will be of interest to astrophysicists, physicists and chemists who are involved in computer simulation. It will also be of interest to computer scientists with interest in hardware architecture of high-performance computers.

Description: This text on very large scale computation in the 21st century covers such topics as: challenges in the natural sciences and physics; chemistry; fluid dynamics; astrophysics; biology; challenges in engineering; challenges in algorithm design; and challenges in system design.
Description: Based on a study done by the authors which served as an overview of supercomputers and their applications for an international banking group, this book covers the major hardware and applications software developments for this class of computers. The work thoroughly investigated manufacturers in the United States, Japan, Germany, and looked at research efforts worldwide. Appropriate applications areas (for example, forecasting and modeling for meteorology and economics) are discussed. Intended for the CIO, corporate managers, and investment professionals who need to know more about these powerful computers.
Description: These books consist of selected papers from the International Conference on Application of Supercomputers in Engineering, held in September, 1989.
