Large Scale Applications
Through a combination of parallel unstructured mesh software and state-of-the-art computer technology, we can solve computational problems previously considered intractable. The higher resolution capabilities and more sophisticated modeling techniques enabled by this technology will provide new insights into the physical systems studied by applications scientists. We have already used components of the SUMAA3d code in the modeling of high-temperature superconductors giving physicists their first look at the internal configurations of three-dimensional layered systems. In addition, there are many other scientific areas that would immediately benefit from this code. Examples include:
We are committed to working directly with selected application scientists to apply SUMAA3d technology to advance the state of the art in their disciplines.
We are also interested in increasing productivity and improving the competitiveness of American industry. Many companies have discovered that computational modeling saves time and money in the design process of new products. These companies have already invested in scientific workstations connected by a high-speed network, and many more companies will soon do so. If these workstations are used in parallel, the computational resources devoted to a particular project could be vastly expanded. Such configurations could decrease project turn-around time and/or allow more sophisticated numerical models in the design process. The SUMAA3d project will provide the tools necessary to perform computational modeling on networks of workstations.
Several companies have already indicated an interest in the technology that will be developed as part of the SUMAA3d project:
We are committed to exploring cooperative research opportunities with industrial partners.
