文摘This paper mainly discusses the multiscale computation from a chemical engineering perspective.From the application designer's perspective,we propose a new approach to investigate and develop both flexible and efficient computer architectures. Based on the requirements of applications within one category,we first induce and extract some inherent computing patterns or core computing kernels from the applications.Some computing models and innovative computing architectures will then be developed for these patterns or kernels,as well as the software mapping techniques. Finally those applications which can share and utilize those computing patterns or kernels can be executed very efficiently on those novel computing architectures. We think that the proposed approach may not be achievable within the existing technology. However,we believe that it will be available in the near future. Hence,we will describe this approach from the following four aspects:multiscale environment in the world,mesoscale as a key scale,energy minimization multiscale(EMMS)paradigm and our perspective.
