Supercomputers are usually provided as shar.ed central facilities. However, unlike, telescopes and accelerators, they are find a wide range of applications which extends across a broad spectrum of research activity. The difference in performance between a "good" and a "bad" computer program on a traditional serial computer may be a factor of two or three, but on a contemporary supercomputer it can easily be a factor of one hundred or even more! Furthermore, this factor is likely to increase with future generations of machines. In keeping with the large capital and recurrent costs of these machines, it is appropriate to devote effort to training and familiarization so that supercomputers are employed to best effect. This volume records the lectures delivered at a Summer School held at The Coseners House in Abingdon, which was an attempt to disseminate research methods in the different areas in which supercomputers are used. It is hoped that the publi | 出版日期 | Book 1990 | 关键词 | Approximation; algorithms; dynamics; supercomputer | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-5820-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-5822-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-5820-6 | copyright | Plenum Press, New York 1990 |
