Many of our calculations were and are being performed on cutting
edge supercomputers, such as the Earth Simulator in Yokohama, Japan.
This 40 TFlop massively parallel vector supercomputer was built at a
nontrivial cost of 500 M$ and requires an annual maintenance fee of
50 M$. Substantial computational resources of typically several months
CPU time on a large fraction of the vector processors have been made
available by
JAMSTEC and
RIST
in Japan for a collaborative effort to
understand the stability of electronic nanostructured devices subject to
electronic excitations and to study the mechanical stability of novel
materials. |
