Abstract :
It is time for high-quality products to emerge for HPC systems, but achieving this goal requires a new way of transferring results from the research environment to the application marketplace. As the product of three Italian research agencies and one industrial company: the National Research Council (CNR), National Agency for New Technologies, Energy, and Environment (ENEA), National Institute for Nuclear Physics (NFN), and Finmeccanica´s Quadrics Supercomputers World Ltd. (QSW), the PQE2000 project adopts this viewpoint with respect to innovative software technologies and composite MPP architectures for petaflops computing. The author discusses the PQE2000 software technology, shared memory implementations and the PQE2000 architecture for MPP computations
