Abstract

In this paper we focus on how to efficiently program and use the resources of a distributed-memory parallel and vector supercomputer MEIKO CS-2 for scientific applications using CHARM message-driven parallel programming. Distributed-memory parallel computers have communication advantage and thus perform better on applications requiring large amount of communication. We show that with the CHARM message-driven parallel programming one can efficiently overlap communication and computation. Performance data on applications such as matrix multiplication and gaussian elimination show that we achieve good performance.
