The CMS code was installed and analyzed at NPAC and the parallelization plan for the Origin2000 platform was developed and reported in Year 2. Other codes will be added to this project as they are identified, and the level of effort associated with this project would be expected to increase accordingly. Develop efficient parallel version of the CMS code for the Origin2000 family of shared memory machines. Interact with CMS users at Ft. Customize the code for the specific application needs of various users communities or simulation systems.
Dynamic minefields play a crucial tactical role in the modern warfare.
Minefields of millions of mines can be rapidly deployed today by the Air Force and they can affect mobility and imply major changes in the enemy Army or Navy operations due to the rapidly blocked routes or areas. However, practical simulation of large minefields with millions of active mines require high performance computing. This project is related to and needs to be pursued in parallel with the Metacomputing FMS Demonstrations project. Though we have spent some time on the analysis, it is possible that unforeseen problems may crop up with the port or parallelization.
