The Petaflow project aims to contribute to the use of high performance computational resources to the benefit of society. To this goal the emergence of adequate information and communication technologies with respect to high performance computing-networking-visualisation and their mutual awarness is required. The developed technology and algorithms are presented and applied to a real peta-scale data intensive scientific problem with social importance, i.e. human upper airflow modeling.
