Parallel computing
IBM's IBM Research - Zurich has developed over the years a deep and broad competence in the field
of parallel and distributed computing. Our internal work on scientific
and technical computing is used as a test bed and driver for innovative parallel
alghorithms and implementations on diverse computer hardware ranging from general-use
high-end supercomputers (p-Series clusters) and Linux clusters (x-Series) to novel
computer architectures such as BlueGene-L.
Our key competencies are:
| • |
distributed memory parallelization using MPI, |
| • |
shared memory parallelization using OpenMP and direct threading, |
| • |
mixed MPI/SMP schemes. |
|

Our CPMD code (ab-initio molecular dynamics code) has been ported and optimized
for the entire generation of IBM supercomputers and is constantly required by
many key customers as a benchmark for supercomputer evaluation.
