Foil 20 Communication Must be Reduced

From Methodology of Computational Science CPS615 Computational Science -- Spring Semester 2000. by Geoffrey C. Fox


4 by 4 regions in each processor
  • 16 Green (Compute) and 16 Red (Communicate) Points
8 by 8 regions in each processor
  • 64 Green and "just" 32 Red Points
Communication is an edge effect
Give each processor plenty of memory and increase region in each machine
Large Problems Parallelize Best
