Industrial Applications of High-Performance Computing

Industrial Applications of High-Performance Computing: Best Global

Practices offers a global overview of high-performance computing

(HPC) for industrial applications, along with a discussion of software

challenges, business models, access models (e.g., cloud computing),

public–private partnerships, simulation and modeling, visualization, big

data analysis, and governmental and industrial inuence.

Featuring the contributions of leading experts from 11 different countries,

this authoritative book:

• Provides a brief history of the development of the supercomputer

• Describes the supercomputing environments of various

government entities in terms of policy and service models

• Includes a case study section that addresses more subtle and

technical aspects of industrial supercomputing

• Shows how access to supercomputing matters and how

supercomputing can be used to solve large-scale and complex

science and engineering problems

• Emphasizes the need for collaboration between companies,

political organizations, government agencies, and entire nations

Industrial Applications of High-Performance Computing: Best Global

Practices supplies computer engineers and researchers with a state-of-

the-art supercomputing reference. This book also keeps policymakers

and industrial decision-makers informed about the economic impact of

these powerful technological investments.
