This book contains invited and refereed papers from the Seventh International Conference on Applications of High Performance Computing in Engineering, the latest in a successful series which provides a forum for scientists from many fields and countries to exchange ideas and review new developments.
The main topics highlighted are: Parallel Computing; Parallel Finite and Boundary Elements; Applications in Fluid Flow; Further Applications in Computational Science; Performance and Benchmarking; and Distributed Computer Systems and Networking.
The 25 studies include both the invited and refereed contributed papers. They discuss parallel computing, an algorithm to treat the problems of parallelization and another to deal with time-dependent mesh refinement, automotive crashworthiness simulation focusing on the evaluation and benchmark of high-performance computer platforms, the parallelization of the general boundary element method and practical applications of it ranging from computational mechanics to fluid dynamics and diffusion problems, applications of high-performance computing in other traditional fields of interest, issues in benchmarking and performance, and distributed computing through the new technology of grid computing.
