High-Performance Computing and Networking

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on High-Performance Computing and Networking, HPCN Europe 1999, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in April 1999.
The 115 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of close to 200 conference submissions as well as from submissions for various topical workshops. Also included are 40 selected poster presentations. The conference papers are organized in three tracks: end-user applications of HPCN, computational science, and computer science; additionally there are six sections corresponding to topical workshops.
