Abstract

 
The first part of the talk presents  parallel computer  resources at 
the Academic Computer  Centre  CYFRONET-KRAKOW,  main  tasks of the ACC,
as well as a number of examples of research activities and international
cooperations.

The  second  part gives an  overview  of  investigations  pursued by the
Parallel and Scientific  Group of the Institute of Computer Science AGH.
The Group has gained  experience in using vector and parallel  computers
as well as heterogeneous  networks of workstations for solving different
problems  in science  and  engineering.  The  research  activities  were
mainly focused on the following areas:
 
- development  of parallel  algorithms  based on the  particle  approach
  (molecular  dynamics) for  investigation of problems of fluid dynamics
  at   the microscopic  level, impact  phenomena in solid state, plastic
  deformation,  penetration,  as  well  as  for  computer  graphics  and
  visualization;
- development  of parallel  algorithms  based on cellular  automata (for
  simulation of fluid flows and simple biologic systems);
- parallel algorithms for combinatorial optimization (TSP problem);
- elaboration  of parallel  finite  element  programs for metal  forming
  processes;
- tools for  monitoring and  performance  analysis of parallel  programs
  running on virtual network computer under PVM;

The talk will conclude with an outline of new projects.
