The highperformance Embedded computing Software Initiative (HPEC-SI) program is developing a unified computation and communication Application programming Interface (API) and framework for highperformance signal processing tasks on parallel computers. The goal of the program is to address the high cost of software in Department of Defense (dod) systems by improving the portability and productivity of signal processing application development threefold, while improving performance by one half compared to current practices. This paper describes the motivation for the HPEC-SI program, its goals and approaches, and progress of the HPEC-SI Working groups in extending the Vector, Signal, and Image Processing Library (VSIPL) standard to C++ and transparent operation in parallel computing systems. The C++ extension to VSIPL is described, and highlights of its advantages are considered. This paper also examines results from the Demonstration Working group, and describes requirements and plans developed by the Applied Research Working group for data parallel extensions to VSIPL and describes Development Working group progress so far in developing parallel VSIPL.

Simulations of turbulent channel flows at Re. = 135 - 400, seeded with microbubbles, have been used to investigate the dynamics of microbubble drag reduction. The bubbles are found to exert an effective streamwise body force on the flow that retards the near-wall flow and results in a reduction in drag. Besides this density effect of the bubbles there is a suspension viscosity effect, and both depend on the local void fraction and bubble size. In addition, collisions or contacts between bubbles can lead to an enhanced dispersion at larger void fractions. These features are investigated for a range of conditions to guide the development of RANS models.

For future Shuttle missions, a radar system consisting of a new wideband C-band radar and two Weibel continuous pulse Doppler X-band radars has been implemented for adequate detection of debris during launch and ascent. Three radars will digitally record tracking data of the Shuttle from launch until signal is lost with the primary timeframe of interest being launch to launch plus 150 seconds. In this paper, radar cross sections and range profiles of the Shuttle are computed by Xpatch for these three radars.

Supersonic axisymmetric base flows are prototypical for flows behind projectiles and missiles. For these flows, drag reduction can be achieved by means of passive control of the near wake. Thereby large (turbulent) coherent structures play a dominant role. The objective of the present investigation is to elucidate if and how successful passive flow control techniques modify these structures. To this end, first Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) for a Reynolds number of Re-D = 100,000 and Mach number of Ma =2.46 were performed using a high-order accurate and highly parallelized research code which was developed at the University of Arizona. Thereby, roughly 52 million grid points were employed. The DNS data serve to visualize typical structures of the unsteady flow field and to verify IQ the use of less computational costly RANS/LES methods is applicable for this flow. Two of these methods, the Flow Simulation Methodology (FSM) and Detached Eddy Simulations (DES), were then employed to investigate the supersonic base flow at Re-D =33 x 10(6) and Ma = 2.46 using between 460, 000 and seven million grid points. For the DES, the commercial CFD-code Cobalt was employed This unstructured grid solver allowed then to perform simulations with boat-tailing. The obtained mean flow data are compared to available experimental results.

Simulations of distributed information enterprises using the DIEMS framework[1] were performed on HPC clusters and SMP machines. The simulation results were analyzed with respect to the computation time involved in each process, the number of times processes were executed, the number of simulation rollbacks invoked during each simulation, simulation overhead, and the total wall clock time used to perform the simulation. The analysis identified several performance limitations and bottlenecks. One critical limitation addressed and eliminated was simultaneously mixing a periodic process model with an event driven model causing rollbacks. The second major factor limiting performance on cluster based systems was the cross-node communication. An optimization technique that exploits the knowledge of the publication and subscription paradigm of the information architecture being simulated was developed. This paper describes the simulation analysis, the modifications to the simulation models, the development of an optimization technique, and the impact of the code improvements on simulation performance.

The development of a fully coupled global atmosphere-ocean prediction system for short-term forecasting at the Naval Research Laboratory at Monterey (NRL-MRY), was described. The global coupled coupled Navy Operational Global Atmospheric System (NOGAPS) /Parallel Ocean program (POP) system is being used to investigate seasonal forecasts of the atmosphere and ocean. By the use of Simple Ocean Data Assimilation Scheme (SODA), the model forecast from 0.4° global POP has been combined with an estimate of corrections based on a set of observations consisting of temperature and salinity from hydrography and satellite-derived SST. The inclusion of ice in the coupled system will provide a more realistic time-dependent bottom boundary layer to NOGAPS.
