Foil 29 Parallelism in Salmon Warren Approach

From Earthquake Prediction as Example of N Body Computations CPS615 INtroduction to Computational Science -- Fall Semester 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 First you must decompose cells among processors which is nontrivial as irregular dynamic (maybe not in GEM) tree like structure
2 Originally used orthogonal recursive bisection chopping space succesively in 2 in different dimensions
3 However better to run "a space filling curve" through the cells and divide curve into chunks of equal work (which NOT equal numbers of particles as more computation in dense areas of particles)
  • Note fast multipole essentially adds in nearby particles using "direct computation approach"
4 Simplest is to sort keys and divide up this sorted list (Morton curve)
