In contemporary research, the supercomputer now ranks, along with radio telescopes, particle accelerators and the other apparatus of "big science", as an expensive resource, which is nevertheless essential for state of the art research. Supercomputers are usually provided as shar.ed central facilities. However, unlike, telescopes and accelerators, they are find a wide range of applications which extends across a broad spectrum of research activity. The difference in performance between a "good" and a "bad" computer program on a traditional serial computer may be a factor of two or three, but on a contemporary supercomputer it can easily be a factor ...

Reviews for Supercomputational Science
From Book News, Inc. The 26 lectures of a short course held in September 1989 at Abington, England, present research methods in the wide range of areas for which supercomputers are used. The topics include supercomputing on conventional and novel architecture, good programming techniques, numerical recipes, the computer simulation of plasmas, molecular dynamics methods, and river flood prediction.
