Parallel Performance of a Combustion Chemistry Simulation
Gregg Skinner, Rudolf Eigenmann · Scientific Programming · 1994
We used a description of a combustion simulation′s mathematical and computational methods to develop a version for parallel execution. The result was a reasonable performance improvement on small numbers of processors. We applied several important programming techniques, which we describe, in optimizing the application. This work has implications for programming languages, compiler design, and software engineering.
