Parallel Applications Development at the PSC

To ensure that the nation's computational science and engineering community can make effective use of the PSC's leading edge scalable parallel computers (T3D , T3E ), it is necessary to foster the development of applications software which can sustain a sizeable fraction of the hardware's peak performance potential.

Such is the continuing mission of the PSC Parallel Applications Technology Program (PATP), initiated jointly with Cray Research in 1993. Since then, scientific parallel application developers working for PSC and Cray in collaboration with several PSC user groups, have made a variety of optimized packages and utility libraries available to the PSC user community. The PATP program has had numerous successes in enabling scientific advances due to the realism of the simulations possible on the T3D and T3E. Some of these are described in the paper "Parallel Software and the PSC Community: Breaking the Barrier".
