Applications of the MasPar MP-1 at NASA/Goddard

Massively parallel systems are targeted for accelerated development and maturation by NASA's upcoming five-year High Performance Computing Initiative. A summary of the broad range of applications currently running on the MP-1 is presented along with descriptions of the parallel algorithmic techniques employed in five of them. The following applications are described in some detail: finite element simulation, tridiagonal solver, neural networks, image deblurring, and point plotting. The MasPar MP-1 has replaced the MPP (Massively Parallel Processor) and with 8K processors installed is providing more than twice the megaflop power and 64 times the high-speed memory. All the MPP users have migrated their development activities to the MasPar along with many of their application codes. User feedback has been positive due to the more capable hardware and its excellent reliability.<<ETX>>
