PRACE Whitepapers

Wednesday 11 January 2012

This page contains a list of public whitepapers produced by the PRACE project.

The whitepapers document the work done over an 18 month period, in task 7.6 of work package 7 of the PRACE-1IP project. The purpose of the work has been to support European HPC users and researchers to scale their code by helping them overcome their data challenges. The support has come from PRACE experts from leading European HPC centers. In total 12 HPC application have been supported, which has resulted in whitepapers detailing the work which has been done. The whitepaper subjects range from detailed descriptions of implemented parallel algorithms to user guides for Tier-0 I/O subsystems and tools useful for handling of Petascale data. All the produced whitepapers are freely available here and are useful for users facing similar data challenges.
