Popis: The rapid growth of supercomputer technologies became a driver for the development of natural sciences. Most of the discoveries in astronomy, in physics of elementary particles, in the design of new materials in the DNA research are connected with numerical simulation and with supercomputers. Supercomputer simulation became an important tool for the processing of the great volume of the observation and experimental data accumulated by the mankind. Modern scientific challenges put the actuality of the works in computer systems and in the scientific software design to the highest level. The architecture of the future exascale systems is still being discussed. Nevertheless, it is necessary to develop the algorithms and software for such systems right now. It is necessary to develop software that is capable of using tens and hundreds of thousands of processors and of transmitting and storing of large volumes of data. In the present work the technology for the development of such algorithms and software is proposed. As an example of the use of the technology, the process of the software development is considered for some problems of astrophysics.
