ACADEMIA

Munich -- The Leibniz Computer Center (LRZ) in Munich belongs to the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and operates the Höchstleistungsrechner Bavaria (HLRB). It organized the First Joint HLRB and KONWIHR Result and Reviewing Workshop of the Technical University of Munich in the new Campus Area in Garching north of Munich. The users of the HLRB and participants of KONWIHR (Competence Network for Technical-scientific Hoch- and Höchstleistungsrechnen (high- and highest-performance computing) in Bavaria) projects presented in 32 talks their different application areas and their final or preliminary results. The workshop grouped into the different scientific disciplines: - Biophysics, Astrophysics and Cosmology - Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) - Geosciences, High Energy Physics, and Nuclear Physics - Solid State Physics here M. Parinello, CSCS Manno, discussed the Role of Supercomputing in Ab-Initio Molecular Dynamics. Some KONWIHR projects, CFD Turbulence Model (DiSiVGT), direct simulation with the code BEST (BESTWIHR) and Flusib, Solid State Physics with HQS@HPC, OOPCV and CUHE, Chemistry PARAGAUSS, parallel density functional methods, Applied Mathematics and Informatics, hierarchical hybrid grid structure in technical simulation and visualisation, gridlib, Par-EXPDE, pseudo vectorisation and RISC optimisation for Hitachi SR8000, cxHPC, ParBaum, load balancing, Methwerk.
