Foil 60 The String Formalism for Dynamic Computations

From Complex Systems and Parallel Computing CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Originally we used the analogy
  • Process or "entity"-----> Particle
  • Label by p -----> xp (t) POSITION
2 Now generalize this to
  • process or "fundamental
  • thread of computation" ------> String or worldline
  • Label by p ------> time ordered set {xp (t) }
3 In this new formalism our loosely synchronous microscopically static problems are represented by
