High-performance technical computing with erlang
Alceste Scalas, Giovanni Casu, Piero Pili · 2008
High-performance Technical Computing (HPTC) is a branch of HPC (High-performance Computing) that deals with scientific applications, such as physics simulations. Due to its numerical nature, it has been traditionally based on low-level or mathematically-oriented languages (C, C++, Fortran), extended with libraries that implement remote execution and inter-process communication (like MPI and PVM).
