12:30  Conference Ends


                          TUTORIALS

                        April 26, 1992
  

Computational Fluid Dynamics on Parallel Machines - Algorithms and
Applications
  
9:00-4:30
    
Ramesh Agarwal, McDonnell Douglas Research Laboratories 
     
Greater computational power is needed for solving computational fluid
dynamics problems of interest in engineering design.  This tutorial is
mainly concerned with the implementation of algorithms to solve the
Euler and Navier-Stokes equations on concurrent computers with grain
sizes ranging from fine to coarse.  The tutorial will begin with an
introduction to the terminology of parallel processing, and a
discussion of performance evaluation parameters.  An overview of
commercially available parallel machines will also be given.  Modern
numerical algorithms for the solution of the Euler and Navier-Stokes
equations will be discussed, and their implementation on machines such
as the Cray X-MP/48, IBM 3090-E, Ardent Titan, BBN Butterfly, INTEL
iPSC/2, Myrias, Symult 2010, and the Connection Machine CM-5 will be
described.  Particular attention will be paid to differences in
implementation on SIMD and MIMD architectures.
   

Using Massively Parallel Supercomputers:  An Applications
Perspective
    
9:00-12:00
    
Horst Simon, Computer Sciences Corporation, NASA Ames Research Center
     
Because of their considerable potential computational power, parallel
supercomputers are increasingly considered as an alternative to the
more conventional supercomputers based on a small number of powerful
vector processors.  Even though many research issues concerning their
effective use and their integration into a large scale production
facility are still unresolved, parallel supercomputers are already
used for production computing, although mostly in a single application
or research mode.  In this tutorial, we will summarize the experience
made with massively parallel supercomputers such as the Connection
Machine from Thinking Machines Corporation and the iPSC/860
(Touchstone Gamma Machine) from Intel at NASA Ames Research Center. We
will survey current hardware and software trends for massively parallel
supercomputers from the perspective of applications users, and discuss
in case studies the lessons learned at NASA Ames.

   
Compilers for Scalable Architectures
  
1:30-4:30
    
Ken Kennedy, Rice University and Joel Saltz, ICASE 
     
This tutorial will describe how to design distributed memory compilers
capable of generating efficient code for scalable architectures.
Directives that specify distribution of data are
added to a sequential source program, this is translated
to a parallel program for a scalable multiprocessor.
This tutorial will focus on Fortran D and High Performance Fortran
as source languages.
    
Fortran D will first be described.  We will then cover the techniques used
to build compilers able to handle structured scientific problems.  This
will include a description of the types of analyses and optimizations
used in these problems.  Following this will be a description of how to
build compilers able to handle various types of irregular and adaptive
problems.  We will give examples from the areas of computational fluid
dynamics (unstructured and block structured codes), molecular dynamics
and structures calculations.

   
Morning and afternoon breaks will be provided with all tutorials.  In
addition, lunch will be provided for those signing up for the full day
tutorial or for both of the half day tutorials.
