Computational Grid

This computational Grid will be distributed over all continents, spreading the calculation over a dozen computers with thousands of processors. An application is thereby able to take advantage of this 12 TeraFlops setup.

Application

The application shown is a modified version of fastDNAml.
The metacomputing library PACX-MPI will be used as communication middleware to distribute the application across HPCs, including:

• Terascale Computing System (TCS)
• several Top-500 cluster
• several Cray T3Es
• several Origin 2000 & 3800
• several IBM SPs
• Hitachi SR8000
• Fujitsu PrimePower
• NEC SX 5
• ia32 & ia64 cluster

Visualization

Visualization will be performed in a collaborative VR environment using Covise and Cover.
