The mathematical foundation is generalized shifted linear equations ((zB — A)x = b), instead of conventional generalized eigenvalue equations. The method has a highly parallelizable mathematical structure. The benchmark shows an extreme strong scaling and a qualified time-to-solution on the full system of the K computer. The method was demonstrated in a real material research for ultra-flexible (organic) devices, key devices of next-generation Internet-of-Things (IoT) products. The present paper shows that an innovative scalable algorithm for a real research can appear by the co-design among application, algorithm and architecture.","PeriodicalId":410521,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems (ScalA)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130620937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
