About this title

Synopsis

Founded in April, 1992 and financed by the State of Bavaria and the Bavarian Re­ search Foundation, the Bavarian Consortium for High Performance Scientific Comput­ ing (FORTWIHR) consists of more than 40 scientists working in the fields of engineer­ ing sciences, applied mathematics, and computer science at the Technische Universitat Munchen and at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg. Its inter­ disciplinary concept is based on the recognition that the increasing significance of the yet young discipline High Performance Scientific Computing (HPSC) can only be given due consideration if the technical knowledge of the engineer, the numerical methods of the mathematician, and the computers and up to date methods of computer science are all applied equally. Besides the aim to introduce HPSC into the graduate degree program at the universi­ ties, there is a strong emphasis on cooperation with industry in all areas of research. Direct cooperation and a transfer of knowledge through training courses and confer­ ences take place in order to ensure the rapid utilization of all results of research. In this spirit, FORTWIHR annually organizes symposiums on High Performance Scientific Computing and Numerical Simulation in Science and Engineering.
