An Approach to Solving the Problem of Supercomputer Co-design

Supercomputer co-design provides for coordination of the specifics of solved problems, methods, algorithms and their implementations with the architecture of computing systems. In this case, supercomputer co-design technologies usually provide for the solution of the following tasks: search for an optimal method or algorithm for solving a certain problem on a particular supercomputer, construction of an optimal implementation of the selected method and algorithm on the target computer system, as well as the selection or construction of the most appropriate hardware and software platform for solving the problem using the selected method or algorithm on the basis of this or that software implementation. All three variants of the scientific problem statement are meaningful, require different approaches for solution, but have in common—the necessity of joint analysis of properties of problems, methods, algorithms, software implementations and computer architectures for effective solution.
