This book presents the state of the art in High Performance Computing on modern supercomputer
architectures. It addresses trends in hardware and software development in general as well as
the future of High Performance Computing systems and heterogeneous architectures. The
contributions cover a broad range of topics from improved system management to Computational
Fluid Dynamics High Performance Data Analytics and novel mathematical approaches for
large-scale systems. In addition they explore innovative fields like coupled multi-physics and
multi-scale simulations. All contributions are based on selected papers presented at the 24th
Workshop on Sustained Simulation Performance held at the University of Stuttgart's High
Performance Computing Center in Stuttgart Germany in December 2016 and the subsequent Workshop
on Sustained Simulation Performance held at the Cyberscience Center Tohoku University Japan
in March 2017.
