Torsten Hoefler (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) interviews Satoshi Matsuoka (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) about his first impressions of PASC15 and the trends in computational science in the coming years after PASC15 Conference. Some keywords during the interview: how application needs will influence research in the design of new architectures for exascale, heterogeneous architectures, FPGA, co-design, […]

Recording of a plenary presentation during the PASC15 Conference. www.pasc15.org Abstract Algorithmic adaptations are required to use anticipated exascale hardware near its potential, since the code base has been engineered to squeeze out flops. Instead, algorithms must now squeeze out synchronizations, memory, and transfers, while extra flops on locally cacheable data represent small costs in […]

Recording of a plenary presentation during the PASC15 Conference. www.pasc15.org Abstract Exascale computing will enable combustion simulations in parameter regimes relevant to next-generation combustors burning alternative fuels. The first principles direct numerical simulations (DNS) are needed to provide the underlying science base required to develop vastly more accurate predictive combustion models used ultimately to design […]

Recording of a plenary presentation during the PASC15 Conference. www.pasc15.org Abstract Modern macroeconomic theory has provided many qualitative insights into the functioning of financial and labor markets in our complex modern economies. But determining the quantitative importance of frequently countervailing forces requires much more than the pencil and paper methods used by economic theorists. My […]

Recording of a plenary presentation during the PASC15 Conference. www.pasc15.org Materials Discovery and Scientific Design by Computation: a Revolution Still in the Making, Giulia Galli (University of Chicago, USA) Abstract The need of advanced materials for sustainable energy resources and next generation information technology requires the development of integrated scientific strategies, encompassing theoretical innovations, and […]

Recording of a plenary presentation during the PASC15 Conference. www.pasc15.org Abstract Increasing computational power and advances in algorithms have made it possible to resolve an ever increasing fraction of the scales of atmospheric motion. While it remains inconceivable to resolve all the relevant scales of motion we are currently in the midst of a great […]

Recording of a plenary presentation during the PASC15 Conference. www.pasc15.org Abstract Numerical simulations on supercomputers play an ever more important role in astrophysics. They have become the tool of choice to predict the non-linear outcome of the initial conditions left behind by the Big Bang, providing crucial tests of cosmological theories. However, the problem of […]
