From DoD HPF Training -- 4. HPF Data Mapping Facilities DoD Training and Others -- 1995-98. by Chuck Koelbel -- Rice University
Libraries
  • Prescriptive mapping (³remap actual²) if a specific mapping is needed
  • Transcriptive mapping (³take anything²) for embarrassingly parallel
  • Descriptive mapping (³this is coming²) for internal routines, probably after checking distribution of (transcriptively mapped) user arguments
Non-reusable modules
  • Descriptive mapping probably fastest
  • Prescriptive mapping probably safer
