The Parallel Object-Oriented Methods and Applications (POOMA) FrameWork provides a rich variety of objects to enable rapid prototyping and development of scientific applications on high-performance computing platforms. Applications built with components from the POOMA FrameWork can move between serial, distributed, and parallel architectures with no change to the high-level source code. Thus, a developer is able to develop applications on a serial workstation and, with no change to the source code, move the application to a parallel supercomputer for production. Simulations that are developed under this paradigm are easily moved to new architectures because the details of message-passing algorithms are encapsulated from the application developer. Thus, the investment made in refining a simulation with FrameWork components enables the scientist`s application to run on the next generation of high-performance parallel architectures with little or no effort.
