Foil 45 Performance for Increasing Stencil
From CPS615 Laplace Example -- Programming Models and Performance CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 97. byGeoffrey C. Fox
This foil shows that larger stencils have much lower overheads (and hence better parallel performance) than simple Laplace's equation with 5 point stencil
