The Earth Simulator Research Project started in March 2002 with the primary objective of producing reliable prediction data for global climate change. Within a couple of months after the start of operation, the Earth Simulator achieved an amazing performance of 35.86 Teraflops (about 90% of the peak

The Earth Simulator (ES) is a large scale, distributed memory, parallel computer system consisting of 640 processor nodes (PN) with shared memory vector multi-processors (64GFLOPS/PN, 5120 APs in total, AP: arithmetic processor). All the nodes are connected via a high speed (16GB/s) single-stage cro
We report on coding and performance of our polynomial hybrid Monte Carlo program on the Earth Simulator. At present the entire program achieves 25-40% efficiency. An analysis of overheads shows that a tuning of inter-node communications is required for further improvement.
A scalable and high-performance parallel visualization subsystem has been developed in GeoFEM for the Earth Simulator (ES). As part of the ES project in Japan, the proposed subsystem is effective for the visualization of huge-scale unstructured datasets, and can be concurrent with computation on the
