Frameworks, Algorithms, and Scalable Technologies for Mathematics (FASTMath) SciDAC Institute
- Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst., Troy, NY (United States); Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
The FASTMath SciDAC Institute addressed two key challenges that application scientists faced at the beginning of SciDAC-3. First, FASTMath helped them continue to improve the quality of their simulations by increasing accuracy and reliability of both their software and algorithms. Second, FASTMath helped them adapt their computations to make effective use of high-end computing facilities acquired by DOE over the past five years. This required the development of new mathematical algorithms that were appropriate for the physics problems being solved, implementations that scaled to million-way parallelism, and software that effectively leveraged both distributed memory and on-node parallelism. The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute team’s efforts focused on the unstructured mesh technologies developed by FASTMath.
