Scalable Algorithms for Advanced Architectures

This paper focuses on various approaches of designing scalable algorithms for advanced architectures. The corresponding properties of such algorithms will be outlined and discussed. With the latest advances in the area of advanced computer architectures we are seeing already large scale machines at petascale level and we are discussing exascale computing. All these require efficient scalable algorithms in order to bridge the performance gap.  Examples will outline such scalable algorithms applied to large scale problems in the area Computational Biology, Environmental Modelling etc. The key properties of such advanced and scalable algorithms will be outlined.

Key words: scalable algorithms, advanced computer architectures
