Parallel Iterative Algorithms - From Sequential to Grid Computing

Informationen zum Autor Jacques Mohcine Bahi, Sylvain Contassot-Vivier, Raphael Couturier Klappentext Presenting the theoretical and practical aspects of parallel numerical algorithms, this book illustrates how iterative algorithms can solve numerical problems and discusses their implementation on parallel and distributed computers. It reviews basic convergence results of iterative algorithms and explores the advantages of asynchronism, such as reducing the effect of bottlenecks and the synchronization penalty. The authors also analyze numerous experiments in various computational contexts for linear and nonlinear numerical problems. The book contains several exercises at the end of most chapters as well as an appendix of mathematical results. Zusammenfassung Offers a theoretical background to allow readers to determine when an iterative algorithm can be used. This book presents the key elements as well as the practical knowledge and methodology to design and implement parallel iterative algorithms. It demonstrates how to apply these algorithms to solve linear or nonlinear numerical problems. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction. Iterative Algorithms.
