We present scalable algorithms for parallel adaptive mesh refinement and coarsening
(AMR), partitioning, and 2: 1 balancing on computational domains composed of multiple …

The present book provides an introduction to using space-filling curves (SFC) as tools in
scientific computing. Special focus is laid on the representation of SFC and on resulting …

Current trends in high performance computing suggest that users will soon have widespread
access to clusters of multiprocessors with hundreds, if not thousands, of processors. This …

We present a new methodology for generating and adapting octree meshes for terascale
applications. Our approach combines existing methods, such as parallel octree …

This paper discusses the design and performance of the parallel data communication
infrastructure in SAMRAI, a software framework for structured adaptive mesh refinement …

Many problems are characterized by dynamics occurring on a wide range of length and time
scales. One approach to overcoming the tyranny of scales is adaptive mesh …

Mantle convection is the principal control on the thermal and geological evolution of the
Earth. Mantle convection modeling involves solution of the mass, momentum, and energy …

A critical but often ignored component of system performance is the I/O system. Today's
applications demand a great deal from underlying storage systems and software, and both …

Clustering analysis, an automatic process to find similar groups of objects from a database,
has been studied for many years. With the increasing data size generated recently …

This work represents the essence of nearly 16 years of work in scientific computing for
ocean and atmospheric modeling. This journey started at Alfred-Wegener-Institute for Polar …
