abstract = {KFA is one of the largest big-science research centers in
Europe. Its scientific and engineering activities are
ranging from fundamental research to applied science
technology. KFA's Central Institute for Applied Mathematics
(ZAM) is running the large-scale computing facilities,
central servers, and network systems at KFA. ZAM is also
providing supercomputer capacity to the scientific community
all over Germany; this broad service has been a novelty in
1987 when a new user meta-structure named HLRZ
(Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum) has been established in
order to further promote computational science and
engineering in Germany. In 1996, ZAM's facilities are
upgraded, in addition to a 16-node IBM SP2 and a 140-node
Intel Paragon, by a heterogeneous new supercomputer complex
consisting of CRAY J90 (20 CPUs) T90 (12 CPUs), and T3E (512
processors). Based on the recent recommendations of the
German Science Council, also several large university
computing centers are preparing the necessary steps to
reenforce the apex of the structural pyramid of modern
scientific computing.While the successes of the past two
decades in scientific supercomputing have been achieved
essentially by the technical breakthrough of the
vector-supercomputers, the future of supercomputing is
focussed on massively parallel computers. Besides system
architecture, node performance, and interconnection
topology, important issues are genuine parallel algorithms,
programming tools, and programming models. Message Passing
on parallel computers with distributed memory is the only
efficient programming paradigm available today; from a
user's point of view, however, rather the concept of shared
virtual memory will be capable to serve as the effective
basis in order to bring computing on massively parallel
systems from just a computer science toy to the
technological breakthough.Since large applications, in
general, are algorithmically heterogeneous, they will
probably benefit best from the diversity of computer
structures if these are cooperating and combined via high
speed links to heterogeneous supercomputing ensembles.},
