Title :
The challenges and rewards of petascale clusters
Author_Institution :
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA
Abstract :
Building, integrating and using petascale systems have many challenges including system power and cooling, system stability, scalablity, simulation environment and the development of petascale applications. In this talk, we discuss these challenges and provide some approaches to addressing these challenges. In addition, we discuss some recent scientific results from petascale systems that make the whole effort worthwhile.
