Abstract

High Performance Computing (HPC) is the Formula 1 of computer programming and deals with the solution of problems that have a practically inexhaustible demand for compute resources, e.g. accurate physics simulations. We present the library CL-MPI and how it can be applied to distribute scientific computing workloads over several Lisp images and computers. In particular, we describe our work towards the parallelization of Femlisp and the tools and techniques developed in the process. Femlisp is a Common Lisp framework for solving partial differential equations using the finite element method.
