Foil 52 Abstract of Sept 5 1996 CPS615 Lecture

From New CPS615Master Foils-- 26 August 96 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science CPS615 -- Fall Semester 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 This starts by considering the analytic form for communication overhead and illustrates its stencil dependence in simple local cases -- stressing relevance of grain size
2 The implication for scaling and generalizing from Laplace example is covered
  • We covered scaled speedup (fixed grain size) as well as fixed problem size
3 We noted some useful material was missing and this was continued in next lecture (Sept 10,96)
4 The lecture starts coverage of computer architecture covering base technologies with both CMOS covered in an earlier lecture contrasted to Quantum and Superconducting technology
