Yes.
While evidence in computing science is ... well, the standards aren't
well established; still, I think you'll want to start with <URL:
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/279/5356/1525 >. This
describes a supercomputer simulation that won awards in the '90s for
its performance. The application itself is basically what Jean-Paul
recommended: Python, with high-performance libraries written in C,
C++, and Fortran.
