Foil 13 Case Study I) Topics -- State Generation in Parallel Metropolis Algorithm

From Master set for Overview of Case Studies of Computational Science CPSP713 Master for Overview -- Autumn Semester 1994. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
T: Basic Parallel (single site at a time) Metropolis Algorithm
  • Analogous to red-black issues in Gauss-Seidel for Iterative PDE Solution
  • Historically this was initial algorithm we studied and application(algorithm) inspiration in 1981 for hypercube project at Caltech. My graduate students discovered basic issues needed for parallel Metropolis for QCD and various spin model statistical physics simulations.
