Proceedings of the 10th SIAM conference on parallel processing for scientific computing. Portsmouth, VA, USA, March 12--14, 2001 (Q2714096)

This CD-ROM version of the Proceedings contains full information about the structure and the content of the conference. It allows in many cases to get an additional information about the authors and their institutes. The conference included mainly the fields: cluster computing, large-scale parallel computing, computational biology, and scientific visualization. In general, the papers of the conference cover both theoretical and application issues. The invited papers titles constrain more precisely the conference content. They are: 1. Large scale simulations of a virtual shock physics facility. 2. Unveiling the human genome. 3. Data intensive computing using knowledge -- based data collections. 4. Entropia: Megacomputing on the Internet. 5. Parallel methods for scientific visualization and computer graphics.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINESome papers on the cluster computing were also arguments to support PC-clusters as real competitors for conventional supercomputers. Let us name some discussed problems solved using clusters: a parallel three-dimensional fast Fourier transformation, computer fluid dynamics applications, basin modeling etc. The papers oriented on the large-scale parallel applications covered complex fires, airline crew pairing generation, multiphysics simulation, solving large linear systems and others. Problems from the areas visualization and computational biology are still attached. The computational biology problems are a source to construct new computational architectures. The discussed problems included protein folding, molecular dynamics, protein structure prediction, alignment of DNA, image reconstruction from electron micrographs. The proceedings is not only an image of state of art but contain also a challenge for the future work in discipline the parallelism. It is strongly recommended to researchers, postgraduate students, and software designers.
