Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

High-performance computing, optimization and simulation have led to advances in several areas of science, engineering and technology. Recent developments permit the successful completion of computationally intensive problems such as those in chemistry, physics, aerospace, energy, material, healthcare, automobile development, etc. However, further research is required for developing new algorithms, methods and models for new hardware and software architecture, since many heterogeneous many-core processors with accelerators or coprocessors are now an integral part of modern computing systems, especially supercomputers. To fulfill the increasing computing demands, strategies based on heterogeneous computing, mixed precision computing, communication-avoiding computing, etc., have been adopted.

The suggested topics include the following:

  • High-performance computing;
  • Numerical analysis;
  • Accurate computing;
  • Mixed-precision algorithm;
  • Large-scale heterogeneous computing;
  • Performance tuning;
  • Optimization;
  • Parallelization;
  • Modeling and simulation.

We also welcome papers that explore new programming models and languages appropriate for the new and emerging domains and applications of HPC.

The accumulation of rounding errors can lead to unreliable results. Therefore, accurate and efficient algorithms are required. A processor from the ARMv8 architecture has introduced new instructions for high-precision computation. We have redesigned and implemented accurate summation and the accurate dot product. The number of floating-point operations has been reduced from 7n5 and 10n5 to 4n2 and 7n2, compared with the classic compensated precision algorithms. It has been proven that our accurate summation and dot algorithms’ error bounds are γn1γncond+u and γnγn+1cond+u, where ‘cond’ denotes the condition number, γn=n·u/(1n·u), and u denotes the relative rounding error unit. Our accurate summation and dot product achieved a 1.69× speedup and a 1.14× speedup, respectively, on a simulation platform. Numerical experiments also illustrate that, under round-towards-zero mode, our algorithms are as accurate as the classic compensated precision algorithms. Full article

In this paper, we consider the finite difference approximation for a one-dimensional mathematical model of heat conduction in a three-layered solid with interfacial conditions for temperature and heat flux between the layers. The finite difference scheme is unconditionally stable, convergent, and equivalent to the solution of two linear algebraic systems. We evaluate various methods for solving the involved linear systems by analyzing direct and iterative solvers, including GPU-accelerated approaches using CuPy and PyCUDA. We evaluate performance and scalability and contribute to advancing computational techniques for modeling complex physical processes accurately and efficiently. Full article
