Foil 81 Comparison of Concurrent Processing in Society and Computing

From CPS615-Introduction-Course,Driving Technology and HPCC Current Status and Futures CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox, (Some Culler, Koelbel material)
1 Problems are large - use domain decomposition Overheads are edge effects
2 Topology of processor matches that of domain - processor with rich flexible node/topology matches most domains
3 Regular homogeneous problems easiest but
4 irregular or
5 Inhomogeneous
6 Can use local and global parallelism
7 Can handle concurrent calculation and I/O
8 Nature always uses message passing as in parallel computers (at lowest level)
