Foil 30 What is the relation of sequential and parallel programming models ?

From CPS615 Laplace Example -- Programming Models and Performance CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 In both cases, one is "solving" the "same" problem j --> .25 (jleft +jright + jup + jdown)
2 over a set of points
3 In sequential case, problem is "solved" over the full domain
4 In parallel case, problem is "solved" over part of domain (roughly one sixteenth of it) i.e. each node is solving same problem as sequential case but over a different - smaller geometry
5 In sequential case, boundary conditions are "just" fixed values on the edge
6 In the parallel case, boundary conditions are in addition, communicated values
