Application Software
This chapter describes some of the application software developed to meet those needs. These
application software products were developed using the superior hardware technology and high-level compilers
and architecture of NEC's SX-4 Series supercomputer.
The application software products designed for scientific and engineering needs include the following:
- Mathematical libraries that include all superior numerical analysis techniques
- Graphics software that supports various visualization tools
- Molecular science software based on molecular orbital theory for molecular and material design
- Structural analysis software widely used for architecture, civil engineering, and design
- Flow simulation software useful in a variety of fields including automotive and aeronautical design
All of these valuable software products are indispensable for engineering calculations requiring high speed.
Mathematical libraries, which form the foundation of high performance scientific and engineering
computations, are widely used as tools for solving the sophisticated numerical computational problems found in
various fields such as atomic energy, molecular science, structural analysis, flow simulation, aerospace
engineering, oceanophysics, astrophysics, climatology, earth sciences, and electrical engineering.
Mathematical libraries must keep pace with advances in computer technology and offer solution
techniques based on the characteristics of the problem and accuracy required. Also, as the scale of problems to
which supercomputers are applied increases, ever higher speeds are required. From this viewpoint, the
advanced scientific library ASL/SX is provided as a mathematical library that aggressively adopts the products of
the latest numerical analysis studies. Also, ASLCINT/SX is provided as an interface library for using
ASL/SX functions from the C language, and ASLEME/SX is provided as a mathematical library for solving
large-scale problems while using an extended memory unit as data space. Moreover, NEC's numerical calculation
library MATHLIB, which many users have been familiar with for some time, is provided as MATHLIB/SX. All
four of these libraries support IEEE floating-point data format, IBM floating-point data format, and CRAY
floating-point data format.
ASL/SX is a library of FORTRAN mathematical subroutines developed using algorithms that reflect the
latest numerical analysis studies. By using ASL/SX, users can create high-level numerical simulation
programs without being bothered by details of difficult-to-understand numerical calculation algorithms. ASL/SX is

Recently, much research has been done in the generation of three-dimensional or fractal images by
computer graphics and the generation of three-dimensional models from two-dimensional images, which is
called computer vision.
Also, there is a growing demand for high-speed visualization of the results of scientific and
engineering computations in the form of easy-to-grasp graphics or images.
To meet these needs, the SX-4 system provides the Graphical Kernel System (GKS), the
Programmer's Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System (PHIGS PLUS) (the PHIGS Extensions for X (PEX) is
also available), and the visual simulation system (SXview).
GKS is a subroutine library that provides device-independent, two-dimensional graphics input/output
functions. NEC's GKS conforms to the international standard for computer graphics (ISO 7942) of the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
GKS has the following features:
- Supports level 2c functions specified in ISO 7942
- Supports FORTRAN and C language interfaces (ISO/IEC 8651/1 GKS Language bindings-FORTRAN)
- Supports a variety of graphics devices
- Supports CGM format files defined in ISO/IEC 8632
- Helps generate highly portable application programs
The primary functions of GKS are shown below.
- Coordinate systems
To generate graphics and control their display, GKS performs various coordinate
transformations between the application program and display surface of the output device.
- World coordinates ... Coordinates for generating graphics and specifying input in the
application program
- Normalized device coordinates .. Coordinates for uniting and normalizing graphics defined in
various world coordinate systems
- Device coordinates ... Coordinates of the display surface of the graphics device

of each segment. Functions for manipulating segments are also provided such as generation,
deletion, insertion, copying, and the like. The following segment attributes are provided for
display control.
- Segment transformation ... Translation, scaling, rotation, and the like
- Visibility ... Display or non-display
- Highlighting ... Blinking, change of brightness, and the like
- Priority ... Priority in displaying a segment
- Detectability
- Metafile
Users can save drawn graphics as data in a file, and this data can be read and interpreted.

This function enables the application program to inquire about the current state of GKS, attribute
values, or device capabilities.
PHIGS PLUS is a three-dimensional graphics system that conforms to the international standard
(ISO/IEC 9593) Programmer's Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System (PHIGS) and PHIGS PLUS, which is
currently being standardized (DP 9592-4). PHIGS PLUS provides language interfaces for C and FORTRAN and
enables graphics to be displayed in X-Window. By directly calling a function or subroutine of the library from
an application program, users can draw, enter, and control three-dimensional graphics by using a logical
interface, without having to be concerned with the details of the hardware that actually displays the graphics.
The primary functions of PHIGS PLUS are shown below.
- Structures
PHIGS PLUS maintains all graphics data as elements that have hierarchical structure. By adding
or deleting elements or manipulating the structure of elements, graphics information can be managed
and displayed in a flexible manner. The smallest data component is called a structure element.
Structure elements are grouped into structures. A structure has an oriented network organization called a
structure network.
- Graphics output
PHIGS PLUS provides basic graphics output functions required to create three-dimensional graphics.
The output primitives supported include polyline, polymarker, text, fill area, and fill area set. They
also include groups of triangular surfaces, polyhedrons, and so forth to implement shading or
lighting functions effectively. The output primitives have output primitive attributes.
The line style, marker
size, character size, color, and so forth can be controlled. Each graphic is defined in a modeling
coordinate system that can be defined by the user. It is then mapped onto the world
coordinate system, view
reference coordinate system, normalized projection coordinate system, and device coordinate system, and is
finally drawn in a coordinate system that depends on the actual display device.
- High-level rendering functions
PHIGS PLUS has shading, lighting, depth cueing and other functions to allow a perspective
representation based on how light strikes objects and on brightness levels.
- Graphics input
Input operations can be performed for a graphics program by using a mouse and keyboard. These
input operations include locator input, stroke input, valuator input, choice input, pick input,
and string input.
These input operations can be performed in event mode, sample mode, or request mode.
- Inquiry functions
PHIGS PLUS has numerous inquiry functions for acquiring information such as the capability and
current attributes of each display device. These functions allow a device-independent system
to be developed for application programs.
SXview is a visual simulation system that helps users understand analysis results by visualizing the
numerical data produced by scientific and engineering calculations.
The SXview system that operates on the SX-4 Series (SUPER-UX) includes two products: SXview/GWS
and SXview/IMG.
SXview/GWS is an interactive system for providing distributed processing
in a network environment that includes an SX-4 Series supercomputer and graphics workstations
(GWS) such as an SGI graphics workstation.
SXview/IMG provides real-time animation by outputting results generated
as images on the SX-4 Series supercomputer to the frame buffer (UltraNet frame buffer or High
Speed Image Processing System HIPS), which is an image display device.
- System configuration
- SXview/GWS features
- Client/server system for efficient distributed processing
The graphics processing load can be distributed, taking the data transfer volume from the
user-created client program and processing time into consideration. This is ideal for processing
large-scale graphics programs. Using this method, graphics can be created on the SX-4 Series
and transferred to the GWS for display. This saves time over processing the graphics with the
GWS alone.
- Easy visualization of computation results
Computation result data created on the SX-4 Series can be selected from a menu at the GWS
and visualized at any time.
- Data file loader
SXview provides a data file loader that can read both a native SXview file format and
MOVIE.BYU format.
- Abundant graphics and image processing functions (This function is common to the
SXview/GWS and SXview/IMG)
- Creation of various types of scientific graphs such as contour, isosurface, stream line, and
particle trace diagrams.
- Creation of primitives, color bars, coordinate axes, and the like.
- VTR frame-by-frame recording and camera work functions
- SXview/IMG features
SXview/IMG is a realtime animation system that uses the UltraNet ultra high-speed network and
UFB frame buffer.
It creates graphics (or images) based on the results of computations performed on the SX-4 Series,
and implements animation by outputting image data to the frame buffer in realtime.
By using SXview/IMG together with SXview/GWS, users can transfer generated image data to an
IRIS workstation for display and recording.
Molecular science experimentally and theoretically elucidates the physical and chemical properties of
materials from a micromolecular standpoint. Improvements in experimental equipment due to advances in
microelectronics has made it possible to perform high-precision experiments that had been difficult to
perform in the past.
However, high-precision experiments tend to require a great deal of time since large-scale devices must
be constructed, and experimental costs also tend to increase. A new computational molecular science
using supercomputers has been receiving attention in place of these experiments. These simulated
experiments clarify the properties of materials by using computers to numerically solve the atomic and nuclear
fundamental equations that govern phenomena without resorting to approximations based on experimental values or
rules derived from experience. These kinds of computations, which require enormous numbers of calculations,
have only become possible due to recent advances in computers. These new molecular sciences,
particularly computational physics and computational chemistry, continue to exhibit tremendous power in solving
practical problems.
The primary application fields include material design in the development of new materials and
protein engineering in the development of enzymes. Nowadays, these have become essential for shortening
research and development cycles.
The molecular science software provided as application software for NEC's SX-4 Series supercomputer is
the Ab initio Molecular Orbital System AMOSS/SX based on molecular orbital theory.
AMOSS/SX is an integrated computational chemistry system for analyzing and estimating physical
and chemical properties of materials based on molecular orbital calculations. By using AMOSS/SX,
the development period can be shortened and costs reduced for research and development of new materials,
new medicines, and LSI manufacturing processes.
AMOSS/SX has the following features.
- High-precision simulation based on ab initio molecular orbital calculations for molecules
consisting of more than 100 atoms.
- High-speed processing using optimal algorithms for supercomputers.
- High operability through interactive input and graphics output functions.
- Computation of various physical quantities such as the stable structure of a molecule and the
dipole moment.
The use of computers for highspeed numerical simulation of fluid phenomena such as the flow of air or
water, the distribution of temperatures, and the concentration and diffusion of matter transported by flows
provides advantages such as cost containment, safety, reproducibility, and ease of setting a variety of
conditions. As
a result, this use of computers has spread to a wide variety of fields including mechanical, aeronautical,
and automotive design, architecture and civil engineering design, and basic research. In addition, rapid
advancements in the processing power of supercomputers in recent years have contributed to increasing the uses
of computational fluid dynamics even further.
With this as background, there is a rapidly increasing necessity for flow simulation software that
takes advantage of the high speed processing power of supercomputers.
-FLOW/SX is a system that combines the highspeed and high-level calculation capabilities of the
SX-4 Series supercomputer and the exceptional graphical user interface (GUI) of workstations. It fulfills
frontline research, development, and design needs in various fields dealing with fluid phenomena. As flow
simulation solvers on the supercomputer, -FLOW/SX provides simulation functions related to heat conduction and
the transfer of matter by fluids as well as simulation of subsonic to supersonic flows. In addition, it
provides functions for modeling shapes, generating computational grids, entering simulation conditions, and
visualizing computational results, which make practical use of the user interface of workstations.
Together, these functions enable -FLOW/SX to be used as an integrated flow simulation system.
-FLOW/SX is based on -FLOW, which is a program that was jointly developed by the Association for
Large Scale Fluid Dynamics Analysis Code (see Note). NEC enhanced the functions, increased the speed, and
improved the operability of -FLOW in creating -FLOW/SX.
-FLOW/SX has the following features.
- It uses numerical calculation techniques that fully exploit the performance of the SX-4 Series.
- It provides outstanding operability based on mouse operations.
- It offers abundant simulation functions including an incompressible flow solver, compressible
flow solver, and solver for flows with free surfaces.
- It uses the latest flow simulation techniques.
- It provides an interface for adding user-specific solvers.
