ThisvolumeispublishedastheproceedingsoftheRussian-GermanAdvanced
Research workshop on Computational Science and High Performance C-
puting in Novosibirsk Academgorodok in September 2003. The contributions
of these proceedings were provided and edited by the authors, chosen
after a careful selection and reviewing. The workshop was organized by
the Institute of Computational Techno- gies SB RAS (Novosibirsk, Russia)
and the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (Stuttgart,
Germany). The objective was the discussion of the latest results in
computational science and to develop a close coope- tion between Russian
and German specialists in the above-mentioned ?eld. The main directions
of the workshop are associated with the problems of computational
hydrodynamics, application of mathematical methods to the development of
new generation of materials, environment protection pr- lems,
development of algorithms, software and hardware support for hi-
performance computation, and designing modern facilities for
visualization of computational modelling results. The importance of the
workshop topics was con?rmed by the partici- tion of representatives of
major research organizations engaged in the so- tion of the most complex
problems of mathematical modelling, development of new algorithms,
programs and key elements of new information techno- gies. Among the
Russian participants were researchers of the Institutes of the Siberian
Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Institute of Com- tational
Technologies, Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mat- matical
Geophysics, Institute of Computational Modelling, Russian Federal
Nuclear Center, All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental
Physics, - merovo State University.
