Foil 44 Performance for Increasing Stencil
From New CPS615 Foils-- D 23 September 95 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. byGeoffrey C. Fox
The previous foil showed that increasing stencil made slight improvements!
This foil shows that larger stencils have much lower overheads (and hence better parallel performance) than simple Laplace's equation with 5 point stencil
