Scientific computation on SIMD and MIMD machines
D. J. Wallace · Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London Series A Mathematical and Physical Sciences · 1988
Abstract The ICL Distributed Array Processor and the Meiko Computing Surface have been successfully applied to a wide range of scientific problems. I give an overview of selected applications from experimental data analysis, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation, cellular automata for fluid flow, neural network models, protein sequencing and NMR imaging. I expose the problems and advantages of implementations on the two architectures, and discuss the general conclusions which one can draw from experience so far.
