Abstract

The ability to take advantage of high end computing tools requires a composite of fundamentals from mathematics, computer and application sciences. This talk will present the basic high performance scientific computing fundamentals, and discuss the issues surrounding supercomputing applications. Many of the issues are general to parallel and distributed computing, while others arise from the choice of model used to approximate a physical system. The focus of the talk will be an introduction to methods of simulating physical phenomena modeled via systems of differential equations.
