Moving technical computing applications into distributed computing environments

Abstract

As requirements for technical computing applications become more complex and development time shrinks, engineers and scientists must solve problems of increasing computational intensity, many of which involve huge data sets. These domain experts often find that the key challenge is not only the inherent difficulty of the problem; it is also the fact that the computational intensity of the problem exceeds the capabilities of their computers. One solution is for these domain experts to use high-performance computing environments.
