Numerical algorithms and software for advanced computers
B.L. Buzbee · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 1978
The utilization of large-scale computers at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory and why scientists are constantly seeking bigger and faster computers are discussed. The trend toward increased parallelism within the architecture of supercomputers is noted, and how this parallelism is affecting software and algorithms is addressed. On the basis of this trend and characteristics of existing simulation models, some of the areas where future research will be needed are indicated. 5 figures.
