Quick advancements in conventional computing,
supercomputing has gained high importance worldwide. Many
technologically developed countries across the world, containing China, USA,
UK, France and even India, are significantly investing in supercomputing to
increase capabilities in some of the latest scientific fields such as
genomics, alternative energy and defence.
This was said by Muhammad Asghar, rector of the Nust islamabad, at a symposium organised by the Research Centre
for Modelling and Simulation on the university campus. He urged the faculty
and the management to make full use of the best available resources to
cater the research-related needs of the students. "Scientific simulation
has become an important part of the research repertoire, supplementing and
in some cases replacing experimentation. It employs techniques of applied
mathematics and computer science for developing problem-solving
methodologies and robust tools, which are the building-blocks of scientific
solutions and engineering problems of very high complexity," he maintained.
In his keynote presentation, Dr. Tauseef-ur-Rehman, associate professor at
the CAE, Risalpur, said that computing had been witnessing massive
transformation comparable to the kind that started with the invention of
the transistor in the the 19th century. The news |
