Foil 2 Abstract of Laplace Example for CPS615

From New CPS615 Foils-- D 23 September 95 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox

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