Foil 21 Relation to General Speed Up and Efficiency Analysis

From Parallel Programming for Particle Dynamics Extra Foils Computational Science CPS615 -- Spring 2000 Semester. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 We discussed in case of Jacobi example, that in many problems there is an elegant formula fcomm = constant . tcomm/(n1/d tfloat)
2 d is system information dimension which is equal to geometric dimension in problems like Jacobi Iteration where communication is a surface and calculation a volume effect
  • This geometric type formula comes in any case where we are solving partial differential equation by local algorithm (locality corresponds to geometry)
