CPS615-Lecture on Performance(end) and Computer Technologies(start)

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science on 5 September 96. Foils prepared 15 September 1996

Secs 74.8

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


This mixed presentation uses parts of the following base foilsets which can also be looked at on their own!
