Scala(ble) High-Performance Computing

Parallel implementation of complex, data-intensive, synchronized computation poses a significant challenge. Akka as a toolkit for building highly concurrent, distributed, message-driven applications is already battle-proven, yet it is not popular within the field of scientific computing. Our framework for biological habitat simulation in Scala leverages Akka Actors for parallelization and the Akka Cluster distribution mechanisms for cluster management. Conducted experiments prove linear scalability of the method up to 53568 computing cores and we are yet to find its limits.
