“…In the 1990s, problems involving up to 2 · 10 8 particles on 32 · 10 6 grid points in three dimensions have become possible. These methods are shown to be robust and portable [37,38], and have run successfully on a wide range of computers (e.g., Cray-90s, T3Ds, T3Es, SGIs, IBM SP2s, and Macintosh clusters [39]). …”

“…It performed very well in our tests using the Absoft Fortran compiler. Much of our motivation was based on the successes of Decyk and his collaborators at UCLA [3]. At the same time, there was concern that the Macintosh platform was not really designed for clustering, so that software amenities such as easy-to-use message-passing libraries, and hardware amenities such as rack mounts were not available 2 .…”

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)This document is the final report for AFOSR Grant F49620-01-1-0456, "Worksstation Cluster for Simulations for Quantum Lattice-Gas Automata and Entropie Lattice Boltzmann Models." Under the terms of this grant, a workstation cluster was purchased by Professor Bruce Boghosian of the Department of Mathematics at Tufts University in order to carry out large-scale simulations in support of his other AFOSR project F49620-01-1-0385, "Quantum Lattice-Gas Automata and Hydeodynamics," which was funded by AFOSR for three years, begining in 2001. This report is restricted to a description of the computer that was purchased, and to the process of purchasingit. A description on the results thus obtained will be included in the final report of AFOSR grant F49620-01-1-0385.

“…Our solution is based on the Macintosh Operating System using PowerPC-based Macintosh (Power Mac) hardware; we call it a Mac cluster. [2] We use the Message-Passing Interface (MPI) [3], a dominant industry standard [4]. In our ongoing effort to improve the user experience, we continue to streamline the software and add numerous new features.…”

Abstract. At UCLA's Plasma Physics Group, to achieve accessible computational power for our research goals, we developed the tools to build numerically-intensive parallel computing clusters on the Macintosh platform. Our approach is designed to allow the user, without expertise in the operating system, to most efficiently develop and run parallel code, enabling the most effective advancement of scientific research. In this article we describe, in technical detail, the design decisions we made to accomplish these goals. We found it necessary for us to "reinvent" the cluster computer, creating a unique solution that maximizes accessibility for users.
