Unstructured Scientific Computation on
Scalable Multiprocessors
October 29-31, 1990
Ramada Inn, Nags Head, NC
Sponsored by ICASE
Unstructured and dynamically varying algorithms play an
increasingly critical role in scientific computation. Thus,
mapping such algorithms onto scalable multiprocessors is a
pressing practical concern. This workshop will address issues
raised when implementing such algorithms on architectures, such
as the present generation of hypercube machines, which can be
scaled to the teraflop performance range. Problems of greatest
interest include:
PDE solvers using unstructured and/or adaptive meshes
Algorithms for problems in sparse linear algebra
Adaptive fast multipole methods
Particle-in-cell and vortex-chasing methods
The focus here is on problems in which the information
necessary for effective mapping and load balancing is not
available until run time. Invited speakers will address aspects
of these problems, including pacing issues in algorithm design,
problem partitioning and load balancing, software tools, and
algorithm performance characteristics:
Geoffrey Fox -- Irregular Problems on Concurrent Processors
David Keyes -- Adaptive Domain Decomposition
David Nicol -- Static and Dynamic Load Balancing
Manuel Salas -- Unstructured Adaptive Methods for CFD
Harold Trease -- Free Lagrangian Calculations on SIMD machines
Roy Williams -- Irregular Meshes and Distributed Machines
Contributed papers are also solicited for this workshop.
Papers, selected on the basis of originality and relevance, will
be allocated 30 minute sessions; to be considered, submit a 1000
word extended abstract to the address below, by September 1,
1990. Authors will be notified by September 15, 1990, and full
papers for inclusion in the proceedings must be in our hands by
January 1, 1991.
