High performance computing (HPC) technology, including parallel and/or vector processing,
provides opportunities to solve process optimization and simulation problems faster and more reliably than ever
before, thus enabling the solution of increasingly large scale problems, even in a real time
environment. This presentation will focus on recent advances in HPC technology and methods for
exploiting it in process optimization and simulation. Of particular interest are methods for the large, sparse linear
equation systems that often arise in large-scale process engineering problems, and that often represent a
computational bottleneck. Also of interest is an approach for guaranteeing the
reliable solution of process engineering problems.
