A Curriculum for Petascale Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A group of faculty at Purdue is working to develop a curriculum for high performance computing and cyberinfrastructure [1]. Current curriculum efforts are focused on developing and delivering university courses in bioinformatics systems development, grid computing and cyberinfrastructure, algorithms, biomedical informatics, high performance computing systems, and scientific and information visualization. While this effort will address current needs for high performance computing and visualization, the recent development of petascale computing which we define as petaflops of computation attached to petabytes of storage and high speed networks – will require a cohort of highly skilled developers, systems administrators, and science gateway experts who will need training and experience beyond the level available today. Petascale computing represents a new frontier in supercomputing with significant engineering, technology computer science, visualization, and software engineering challenges that must be overcome. In this paper, we propose an enhanced petascale curriculum to address the petascale challenge.

The quest for petascale computing
computation corresponding to 1015 floating-point operations per second. To be of use in scientific computing, a computer capable of this prodigious speed needs a main memory of tens or hundreds of terabytes and enormous amounts of mass storage. Sophisticated compilers and high memory and I/O bandwidth are also essential to exploit the architecture efficiently. To mask the hardware and software ...

The present computational era has witnessed the evolution of the field of computational biology into two somewhat disjoint communities: one group focused on the “wriggling of molecules” (e.g. molecular dynamics) and another focused on pattern matching and informatics (e.g. sequence alignment). The separation starts relatively early in the training of the community, as is evident from the relati...
