Foil 4 Performance for Increasing Stencil

From CPS615-Lecture on Performance(end) and Computer Technologies(start) Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 10 September 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Secs 277.9
The previous foil showed that increasing stencil made slight improvements!
This foil shows that larger stencils have much lower overheads (and hence better parallel performance) than simple Laplace's equation with 5 point stencil
