Foil 38 Basic Data Parallel pipeline operation

From Fox Presentation Fall 1995 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95/96/97. by Nancy McCracken and Geoffrey C. Fox


First step is to Circulate(shift) one position and calculate acelerations Fij and Fji in all index positions
Shifting pipeline (N-1) times gives correct algorithm but does not save "Newton's factor of two".
Just need (N-1)/2 steps when N is odd and N/2 steps when N is even which saves factor of two.
