摘要：This presentation focuses on two aspects of parallel computing, i.e., development and applications of parallel computers. First, development of supercomputers in the past decade is introduced in terms of system sizes, architectures, interconnection networks, topologies, and software revolutions. The design and analysis of networking subsystems is emphasized for devised more effective and efficient algorithms to make better use of the superior characteristics of state-of-the-art parallel computers. Accordingly, a formulation for the task mapping in efficient application of a parallel computer with complex networks such as torus is introduced. Secondly, utilizing the supercomputer power, a coarse-grained platelet model based on discrete/dissipative particle dynamics on the micro/nano scales is developed and discussed.
