Master Set for Parallel Programming for Laplace's Equation

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at CPS615 Spring Semester 00 on February 00. Foils prepared February 13 00

This takes Jacobi Iteration for Laplace's Equation in a 2D square and uses this to illustrate:
Programming in both Data Parallel (HPF) and Message Passing (MPI and a simplified Syntax)
SPMD -- Single Program Multiple Data -- Programming Model
Stencil dependence of Parallel Program and use of Guard Rings
Collective Communication
Basic Speed Up, Efficiency and Performance Analysis with edge over area dependence and consideration of load imbalance and communication overhead effect
