Secs 96
This introduction is followed by a set of "vignettes" discussing problem classes which illustrate parallel programming and parallel algorithms
Ordinary Differential Equations
  • N body Problem by both O(N^2) and "fast multipole" O(N) method
Numerical Integration including adaptive methods
Floating Point Arithmetic
Monte Carlo Methods including Random Numbers
Full Matrix Algebra as in
  • Computational Electromagnetism
  • Computational Chemistry
Partial Differential Equations implemented as sparse matrix problems (as in Computational Fluid Dynamics)
  • Iterative Algorithms from Gauss Seidel to Conjugate Gradient
  • Finite Element Methods
