Utilizing Internet2 infrastructure, members of Professor Lyle Long's (lnl@psu.edu) and Professor Phil Morris' (pjm@psu.edu) research teams will demonstrate how the network is used to help analyze computational processes occurring on distributed resources across campus and across the country. A computer program which simulates fluid flow over an Apache helicopter and another code which simulates high pressure liquids and gases using molecular dynamics will be executed in parallel on the Penn State RS/6000 SP and visualized in real-time on graphics workstations in the Institute for High Performance Computing Applications Lab. This capability enables researchers to analyze and debug their simulations visually, thereby gaining insight to the processes that contribute to accurate numerical solutions. They will also be demonstrating inexpensive video conferencing software and hardware using Internet2. The IHPCA has an OC-3 (155 megabit/second) connection to the Penn State backbone.
