The role of supercomputing in this transition will include leading the process of organizational change in research and development.

On two-dimensional problems, however, large numerical oscillations are introduced when discontinuities traveling obliquely to the grid directions are present. These oscillations are caused by a Strang- type operator splitting, and cannot be eliminated using flux limiters or small timesteps. {\bf Keywords:} High resolution methods, Godunovs method, operator splitting, complex Burgers equation. {\bf AMS:} 35: A40, L45, L60, L65, L, 67. 65: M05, M10.}, language = {en} } @misc{LueggerDalitz, author = {L{\"u}gger, Joachim and Dalitz, Wolfgang}, title = {Verteilung mathematischer Software mittels elektronischer Netze: Die elektronische Softwarebibliothek eLib.}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-4774}, number = {TR-91-02}, abstract = {Mit zunehmender Dezentralisierung im Bereich des Wissenschaftlichen Rechnens steigt auch der Bedarf an Softwarequellen qualitativ hochwertiger mathematischer Algorithmen.
