In an undergraduate course I am taking, it is required of me to give a short seminar on a topic in any field of numerical analysis (the course is one of four mandatory analysis courses, dealing in linear systems, finite elements, solutions to o.d.e.'s and solutions to p.d.e.'s). I have decided to give the class an introduction to parallel processing in the analysis field, hoping to also gain some personal insight. If anyone can help in providing references (introductory only), it would be much appreciated. In the seminar I hope not to go into too much detail regarding coding, but do want to detail the process in developing an algorithm, implementing it, and the question of effectiveness vs. cost. Currently we are studying solutions to o.d.e.'s, including the methods of Adams-Moulton, Runge-Kutta and others. Nothing too complex yet. Stability (partial, strong or otherwise) is emphasized. Any help here would be VERY much appreciated. Please feel free to offer any information you think would be beneficial. This notice appears along with my own research efforts and trying to seek out those from my own Computer Science department with similar backgrounds. Please mail responses to me, all responses used will be adequately noted in my list of sources.
