Summer Scholarship Programme at the Edinburgh Parallel Computing
Centre, University of Edinburgh.
Summer 2001
From: 02/07/2001 To: 10/09/2001 (10 weeks)
The aim of this project is to develop a medium-scale realistic application in Java. The basis for this project will be an existing code, called LUDWIG, which is written in C (and MPI). The major part of this project will consist of translating the sequential C code into Java. This will allow direct performance comparison between the two versions. As a further part of the project, parallel versions of the Java code (using mpiJava and/or JOMP) will be developed and benchmarked.

EPCC no longer has a copy of the SSP projects (they were deleted when the
site was reorganized in 2007).
United Kingdom High-End Computing also kept a copy of the reports, but the project has now been discontinued.

The resulting code was used by Amos Akinola Folarin (University College London) for modelling the convection of blood through tumour vasculature.

The Summer Scholarship Programme closed in 2001 and was a unique training programme in which senior undergraduates were employed to work on 10-week projects investigating various aspects of high performance and/or novel computing.
