Description
As KAUST prepares to take delivery of “Shaheen-2” we look back five years and ahead ten years at the evolution of architectures, algorithms, and applications. We consider, in particular, the pressures that fundamental architectural limitations place on algorithms at the core of applications employed in KAUST scientific and engineering campaigns in chemistry, climate, combustion, fluids, materials, and petroleum reservoirs. We conclude by stating some aspirations for Shaheen-2, a globally “top 10” Cray XC40 with 200,000 tightly integrated cores, to support and promote a dynamic era of high performance computational science and engineering in Saudi Arabia.
