- Abstract:
- High performance computing (hpc) is a tool used by research scientists in
many different fields such as computational physics and chemistry, optics and
telecommunications, financial mathematics, mechanical engineering and
numerical and computational mathematics. The University of Wollongong is a
partner institution in the Australian Centre for Advanced Computing and
Communications (ac3), which is based in Redfern, Sydney. The first part of
the seminar will give an overview of hpc. The hpc facilities at ac3 (which
are available to Wollongong researchers) will be discussed, as will a number
of high-profile research topics being undertaken on the ac3 machines by
Australian researchers. The second part of the seminar will focus on two of
my research topics which have been aided by the use of hpc, the numerical
modelling of microwave heating and of solitary wave interactions.
