Foil 7 CPS713 Case Study II) -- Overview of Computational Toolkit Issues

From Overview of Monte Carlo Case Study CPSP713 -- Autumn Semester 1994. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Paul Coddington


1 We will use AIAA-94-2249 "Computational Toolkit for Colliding Black Holes and CFD" by N.P. Chrisochoides, G.C. Fox and T. Haupt as an overview of issues that need to be studied in producing a PDE (CFD and NR) Computational toolkit
  • Example of multidisciplinary design as a metaproblem needing integration of many disparate software modules (sec. 1)
  • Study of ELLPACK and issues in modular programming for PDE solution. Relevance of domain specific interfaces built using Mathematica or similar package (sec. 2)
  • Software Integration issues needed in metaproblems (sec. 3)
  • Review of programming paradigms (sec. 4.1)
  • High Performance Fortran for individual modules (Sec 4.2)
  • Runtime Support from libraries, message passing to programming environment (Sec. 5)
  • Parallel Grid Generation for Structured (NR) and Unstructured (CFD) meshs (Sec. 6)
