Foil 19 Complex Systems to give a Theory of Computing

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
Both problems and computer are
Collections of homogeneous or heterogeneous basic entities with some sort of static or dynamic connection between them
Modeling involves mapping one "complex problem" into another
Simulation or parallel computing involves map
    • Complex problem ---> Complex Computer
What parameters of these two underlying complex systems control effectiveness of map?
