High Performance Computing:

A Current View and Future Directions for Selected Disciplines

Organizer: G. Astfalk, Convex Computer Corp., Richardson, USA

Summary: High performance computing and applied mathematics are not separable. In this minisymposium we have speakers to present, for several different disciplines within the realm of applied mathematics, the current advantage and usage of high performance computing. We also indicate what the future requirements in each of these disciplines are for both computing and mathematics.

Related to applied mathematics on high performance computers is the notion of the parallel programming and knowledge of the machine architectures. Speakers will address these topics as well.
