A domain decomposition method is introduced wherein the domain of the problem to be solved is physically split into several sub-domains. This physical split is based on an ordering known as one-way dissection [ I ] . The one-way dissection ordering generates a block-diagonal system of equations which is well suited to a parallel implementation. Once the ordering has been accomplished each of the subdomains is then distributed to a processor in the hypercube computer as necessary. The method is applied to two-dimensional electrostatic problems which are governed by Laplace’s equation. Since the finite-element method is used to discretize the problem the method is developed to take full advantage of the inherent sparsity. The algorithm is applied to several geometries.","PeriodicalId":313314,"journal":{"name":"The Sixth Distributed Memory Computing Conference, 1991.

The primary objective of this study is to use a simulation model to find the improvement for an adaptive LS policy in a distributed system. In homogeneous distributed systems, the simulation results in this study show that the performance improvements between no LS, LS with task placement, and LS with task migration are very small. These results are quite different from other studies, which show a significant improvement of mean response time by executing the LS policy. The performance improvement for the heterogeneous system i s very consistent. That is, the benefit is given to every congested node in the system.","PeriodicalId":313314,"journal":{"name":"The Sixth Distributed Memory Computing Conference, 1991.

Given a particular matrix size and a maximum number of processors, what configuration of processors, i.e., what size and shape array, will execute the fastest The answer to this question depends on tradeoffs between load balancing, communication startup and transfer costs, and computational overhead. In this paper we analyze in detail one algorithm: the blocked factored Jacobi method for solving dense eigensystems. A performance model is developed to predict execution time as a function of the processor array and matrix sizes, plus the basic computation and communication speeds of the underlying computer system. In experiments on a large hypercube (up to 512 processors), this model has been found to be highly accurate (mean error {approximately} 2%) over a wide range of matrix sizes (10 {times} 10 through 200 {times} 200) and processor counts (1 to 512). The model reveals, and direct experiment confirms, that the tradeoffs mentioned above can be surprisingly complex and counterintuitive. We propose decision procedures based directly on the performance model to choose configurations for fastest execution. The model-based decision procedures are compared to a heuristic strategy and shown to be significantly better.more » 7 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab.« less","PeriodicalId":313314,"journal":{"name":"The Sixth Distributed Memory Computing Conference, 1991.

Commercial versions of the HCN computer are planned. The HCN computer being designed is a message passing multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) computer, and offers many advantages in price-performance ratio, reliability and availability, and manufacturing over traditional uniprocessors and bus based multiprocessors. The design of the HCN operating system is a uniquely flexible environment that combines both parallel processing and distributed processing. This programming paradigm can achieve a balance among the following competing factors: performance in processing and communications, user friendliness, and fault tolerance. The prototype is being designed to accommodate a maximum of 64 state of the art microprocessors. The HCN is classified as a distributed supercomputer. The HCN system is described, and the performance/cost analysis and other competing factors within the system design are reviewed.","PeriodicalId":313314,"journal":{"name":"The Sixth Distributed Memory Computing Conference, 1991.

Rather than studying the design case by case, a systematic approach is proposed. A notation is first developed. Using this notation, most of the frequently used scientific and engineering applications can be presented by simple formulas. The formulas constitute the structured representation of the corresponding applications. The structured representation is simple, adequate and easy to understand. They also contain sufficient information about uneven allocation and communication latency degradations. With the structured representation, applications can be compared, classified and partitioned. Some of the basic building blocks, called computation models, of frequently used applications are identified and studied. Most applications are combinations of some computation models. The structured representation relates general applications to computation models. Studying computation models leads to a guideline for efficient parallel algorithm design for general applications. 6 refs., 7 figs.","PeriodicalId":313314,"journal":{"name":"The Sixth Distributed Memory Computing Conference, 1991.
