Foil 72 Current HPF can do II.....

From GCF Talk U - Lewis/NASA 3/9/92 Mardi Gras Conference on Concurrent Computing in Physical Sciences -- February 18, 1993. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Embarrassingly Parallel Problems Basic entities can be very complicated but they can be calculated independently. Use INDEPENDENT command in HPF
Search databases for given text ( ELIXIR for DECmpp ) (can be SIMD)
Analyse separately 107 events recorded from Synchrotron (SSC) collisions. ( definitely MIMD "farm" )
Calculate matrix elements for (chemistry) Hamiltonian (may need MIMD)
  • MOPAC, GAUSSIAN, Reaction scattering rate work within C3P at Caltech is
    • "calculate matrix elements"
    • "Multiply/Solve/Find eigenvalues of matrix
Quantum Monte Carlo
  • Independent "walkers"
  • Parallel Histogram (database) storage
