Global Arrays Toolkit Version 4.2 Released








When you are working with the world's fastest computers, you need software that can keep up. Enter the Global Arrays Toolkit, known as GA. A team from DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory released a new version of the award-winning software that dramatically simplifies writing code for supercomputers. Version 4.2 helps scientists to translate their ideas into mathematical computations that take advantage of the speed supercomputers offer. The new version includes significant updates and lends support for several new platforms, including Cray XT5 and BlueGene/P. The toolkit was built using resources at DOE’s EMSL, a national scientific user facility at PNNL.
