Abstract:   Today´s HPC systems combine massive parallelism on system level with massive parallelism within many-core processors and special accelerators like FPGAs or GPGPUs. On the software side, this requires deep re-engineering of HPC application codes and also deep changes of the basic mathematical algorithms applied. Trends in massively parallel HPC applications are, among others, the use of particle methods, application of PGAS programming models as well as employing elaborate data partitioning and communication reducing methods. The presentations in this session show how application codes from weather forecasting, haemodynamics and rotor wake simulation meet performance and scalability challenges on massively parallel hardware.
