Supporting Scientific Computing with Parallel Architectures

Our long-term agenda associated with this two year proposal is to address the needs of researchers

working with large-scale scientific applications through our contributions to highly parallelized system

infrastructure software. At the application level, we are targeting real-world projects such as the

computational demands associated with the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions and NEPTUNE

Canada. Additionally, emerging needs that deeply integrate privacy with these solutions, such as

electronic health care records and Aboriginal natural resource management, are also part of our

longer-term research agenda. At the infrastructure level, we have established partnerships with three

key experienced system developers using Cell BE architecture—Electronic Arts (EA), Los Almos

Research Center and Yellow Dog Linux. Working with these experts, we will incorporate their

feedback into tool support and application development for the 20 node Cell BE cluster we have at

UVic. Our research will establish tradeoffs with our approaches versus commodity systems in terms

of terms of performance, quality of….TOBECONTINUED
