Foil 6 Example of Basic Problem Architectures Regular Synchronous Problem Class

From HPCC Current Status: Software Trip to China -- July 12-28,96. by Geoffrey Fox * Important Information in IMAGE

See Parallel Computing Works for QCD and Synchronous problems
eg. Quantum chromodynamics calculations (calculate proton mass)
Regular grid in 4D space-time - domain decomposition
Update algorithm identical at each point
Time evolution very simple
The world looked at microscopically in terms of a set of similar fundamental quantities
Monte Carlo - subtlety that cannot update concurrently points linked in Hamiltonian
