Foil 60 MultiScale Methods in Parallel Data Decomposition

From Physical Optimization and Physical Computation CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Parallel algorithms for
  • Genetic Algorithm
  • Simulated Annealing
  • Neural Networks
  • Are not "trivial"
  • Are not identical to sequential algorithms
Large problems (the "real world") require multiscale algorithms just as multigrid is faster than Gauss Seidel for large P.D.E.'s (take --> log Nnode, d=2,3)
