Objective
The effective usage of parallel machines in research and industry is limited by the difficulties met by the users both in designing new applications and in porting existing ones. Porting the High Energy Physics GEANT code to a 128-node European machine will provide a realistic test of a set of parallelisation tools created to ease these problems. The experience gained will contribute to the effective exploitation of parallel machines in research and industry.
The project will cover the following activities:
technology transfer from relevant sources and training of the necessary staff to exploit and program the selected machine
port and test the existing code
explanation of the techniques used and their possible generalisation to other similar codes and machines
porting onto other selected architectures for comparison.
