Algorithms and applications on vector and parallel computers
H. J. J. te Riele, T.J. Dekker, Henk A. van der Vorst · Elsevier eBooks · 1987
The gigantic capacities of present-day supercomputers, both with respect to computing power and to data storage, offer the possibility of tackling problems of a size and complexity which could not be handled before. The efficient use of these machines often requires the design of new numerical algorithms, or the re-design of existing algorithms and data organization in order to meet the possibilities of the new architectures. This development, in combination with the advent of two supercomputers in the Netherlands (a Cray-1 and a CDC Cuber 205) gave the impetus to the editors of this book to start a Colloquium on Numerical Aspects of Vector and Parallel Processors. In the majority of the papers one of the following vector and/or parallel computers plays a role: CDC Cyber 205, Cray-1, Cray X/MP, VP-200, DPP84.
