Foil 9 Structure of CPS615 - IV

From Introduction to Computational Science CPS615 Computational Science Class -- Spring Semester 2000. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Second Exemplar: Particle Dynamics
  • Simple Example O(N2) Law -- best possible parallel performance
  • Real Applications: Astrophysics and Green's functions for Earthquakes with Fast Multipole Solvers
Third Exemplar: Matrix Problems
  • Matrix Multiplication is "too easy"
  • Linear solvers are demanding but use libraries
  • Sparse Solvers are most important in practice
Advanced Software Systems
  • OpenMP and Threads
  • Parallel Compilers and Data Structures
  • Tools -- Debuggers, Performance, Load Balancing
  • Parallel I/O
  • Problem Solving Environments
Application Wrap-up: Integration of Ideas and the Future
