Show moreHIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING (HPC) is central to solving large problems in science and engineering through the deployment of massive amounts of computational power. The development of important pieces of HPC software spans years or even decades, involving dozens of computer and domain scientists. During this period, the core functionality of the software is made more efficient, new features are added, and the software is ported across multiple platforms. Porting of software in general involves the change of compilers, optimization levels, arithmetic libraries, and many other aspects that determine Show less
