Design of Numerical Algorithms for Supercomputers

  • Chapter
Scientific Computing on Supercomputers

Abstract

Parallelism arises at many different levels within a complex problem which if exposed can be efficiently exploited By incorporating software tools in the parallel system to measure the performance we are able to restructure our algorithms or component parts of them into parallel form to run more efficiently on parallel computers.
