Foil 35 Domain Decomposition and Complex Systems ?

From Complex Systems and Parallel Computing CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox
All successful parallel computers with:
  • Many nodes (massively parallel)
  • High Performance (excludes architectures like dataflow) Have obtained parallelism from "data parallelism" or "domain decomposition"
This is just the mapping of data ("spatial domain") of complex problem onto spatial structure of complex computer Whether architecture SIMD MIMD Distributed or Shared Memory
