PARALLEL COMPUTING UNDER NETWORK OF WORKSTATIONS
MO Zeya · Chinese Journal of Computers · 1997
In recent years, high performance scientific and engineering computing under network of workstations (NOWs) is becoming a hot point. In order to help the user to improve the parallel efficiency of their implemented parallel algorithms,with the idea of LogP parallel computing model, a system of efficiency evaluation rules for parallel algorithms is presented in this paper. At the same time, the authors discover some sources which significantly decrease the parallel efficiency under NOWs, propose some successful overcoming methods from the point of algorithms and programming, and discuss some urgent problems which should be solved for realistic larger scale parallel computing under NOWs.
