Modeling Multiscale Phenomenons with Massively Parallel Systems#
Petter BjorstadHigh performance computers are vital to modeling complex systems. The advance of computer technology has opened possibilities for realistic representations of truly multiscale phenomenons. Today a profound change is taking place, computers are getting faster only by way of increased parallelism. Thus, algorithms must be tailored to scale and capture multiscale behavior efficiently, when running on massively parallel hardware that exhibits linear scaling.
