Modeling atmosphericflow is one application of supercomputers.In this paper we present some concepts for implementing global flow algorithms on shared memory multiprocessors.We describe how an analysis of the algorithms combined with the appropriate parallel programming language support allows an efficient and computationally correct implementation, which minimizes the synchronization difficulties.:Some performance measurements on the Encore multiprocessor serve to support this assertion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
