The new series “The Science and Art of Simulation” (SAS) delves into computer simulations as both a scientific endeavor and an engineering craft. The first volume covers three main topics: 1. **The Art of Exploring Computer Simulations**: This section examines the philosophical underpinnings of computer simulations, which are often viewed as a novel scientific method. It questions the prevailing assumption about exploring research on simulations, highlighting gaps and challenges identified by scientists and new research directions proposed by philosophers. 2. **The Art of Understanding Computer Simulations**: Here, the focus shifts to the integration of simulation results into political and social decision-making. The assumption that more detailed simulations yield more useful insights is scrutinized. This section emphasizes the need to differentiate between various types of simulations and the skills required to interpret their results effectively within political and social contexts. 3. **The Art of Knowing through Computer Simulations**: The final section addresses how computer simulations disrupt traditional scientific paradigms. It raises critical questions about the nature of knowledge produced through simulations, comparing them to experiments and arguments. This exploration seeks to redefine our understanding of knowledge in the context of modern scientific practices, emphasizing the transformative potential of sim

The book presents the state of the art in high-performance computing and simulation on modern supercomputer architectures. It explores general trends in hardware and software development, and then focuses specifically on the future of high-performance systems and heterogeneous architectures. It also covers applications such as computational fluid dynamics, material science, medical applications and climate research and discusses innovative fields like coupled multi-physics or multi-scale simulations. The papers included were selected from the presentations given at the 20th Workshop on Sustained Simulation Performance at the HLRS, University of Stuttgart, Germany in December 2015, and the subsequent Workshop on Sustained Simulation Performance at Tohoku University in February 2016.

The book presents the state of the art in high performance computing and simulation on modern supercomputer architectures. It covers trends in hardware and software development in general and specifically the future of vector-based systems and heterogeneous architectures. The application contributions cover computational fluid dynamics, material science, medical applications and climate research. Innovative fields like coupled multi-physics or multi-scale simulations are presented. All papers were chosen from presentations given at the 13th Teraflop Workshop held in October 2010 at Tohoku University, Japan.

This book covers the results of the 11th and 12th Tera? op Workshop and continued a series initiated by NEC and the HLRS in 2004. As part of the Tera? op Workbench, it has become a meeting platform for scientists, application developers, international experts and hardware designers to discuss the current state and future directions of supercomputing with the aim of achieving the highest sustained application perf- mance. The Tera? op Workbench Project is a collaboration between the High Perf- mance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) and NEC Deutschland GmbH (NEC HPCE) to support users to achieve their research goals using High Performance Computing. The ? rst stage of the Tera? op Workbench project (2004–2008) c- centrated on user’s applications and their optimization for the 72-node NEC SX-8 installation at HLRS. During this stage, numerous individual codes, developed and maintained by researchers or commercial organizations, have been analyzed and - timized. Several of the codes have shown the ability to outreach the TFlop/s thre- old of sustained performance. This created the possibility for new science and a deeper understanding of the underlying physics.

Developing software for current and future architectures necessitates knowledge of parallel programming techniques for applications and library programmers. With multi-core processors already available and more on the horizon, there is a growing need for developers to adapt to these complexities. The game industry, a significant driver of hardware development, has already shown interest in parallel programming paradigms like OpenMP. To support developers in this challenging landscape, HLRS has a long-standing tradition of providing up-to-date software tools. The center is involved in key research and development projects, producing software packages such as the MPI correctness checker Marmot, the OpenMP validation suite, and the implementations PACX-MPI and Open MPI. These tools are being enhanced through various German and European community research projects, including ParMA, the InterActive European Grid (I2G) project, and the German Collaborative Research Center (Sonderforschungsbereich 716). Collaborations with industry leaders like Intel and Microsoft further ensure that HLRS's software is production-ready. In April 2007, the European project ParMA was launched, focusing on developing tools for parallel programming in multi-core architectures.
