Foil 66 Comparison of Concurrent Processing in Society and Computing

From CPS615-Introduction-Course,Driving Technology and HPCC Current Status and Futures CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Problems are large - use domain decomposition Overheads are edge effects
Topology of processor matches that of domain - processor with rich flexible node/topology matches most domains
Regular homogeneous problems easiest but
irregular or
Inhomogeneous
Can use local and global parallelism
Can handle concurrent calculation and I/O
Nature always uses message passing as in parallel computers (at lowest level)
