Implementation of parallel algorithm for heat equation using SkelGIS library, CUDA and SISAL

Abstract

In this paper we present three different algorithms based on finite difference method (FDM) for solving heat equation. The common point of these algorithms is that all of them have been developed in parallel. While, each one of them has been differently implemented using SkelGIS library, Streams and Iterations in Single Assignment Language (SISAL) and Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). Halstead metrics have been used for evaluating the programs.
