From CPS615-Introduction to F90 Features, Rationale for HPF and Problem Architecture Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 24 September 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Secs 184.3
1 Both problems and computer are
2 Collections of homogeneous or heterogeneous basic entities with some sort of static or dynamic connection between them
3 Modeling involves mapping one "complex problem" into another
4 Simulation or parallel computing involves map
    • Complex problem ---> Complex Computer
5 What parameters of these two underlying complex systems control effectiveness of map?
