The purpose of this applet is to show how the "The Fox’s Algorithm (Broadcast, Multiply, and Roll)" works in parallel machine.
- Control panel
Start : Press start key to run this applet.
Slow, Fast : These buttons adjust the speed of this applet.
- Communication Steps : This panel is designed to help the users understand the communication between each nodes graphically. It is showing the communications in each steps of the algorithms.
- Example panel : This is the actual example of the algorithm. The each boxes stand for each node of a parallel machine. Matrix C stores the result of multiplication of A and B. And A and B display current value passed from other nodes by the algorithm.
- Instruction panel : This panel is for giving some information about current step and short instruction also.
