Abstract

In the language of computer hardware engineers, "supercomputing" means using advanced, highly specialized technologies, to build super fast ma- chines; one can call the super fast computing machines "supercomputers". In the language of computer software developers, "supercomputing" may have another meaning. It may mean using advanced, highly specialized knowledge and techniques, to develop high-performance computer codes, or in another terminology, computer models. Such computer models could be designed, at will, to solve different real problems arising in all branches of science. This paper centers the attention at solving environmental acoustics problems by high-performance computer codes involving supercomputing. There are a number of phases to go through in order to produce an applica- ble high-performance computer code. One word that can be used to describe th
