Description:
Robust and efficient parallel algorithms for the solution of fundamental
problems in numerical mathematics are essential components of
most parallel software systems for scientific and engineering
applications. This workshop provides a forum for the
presentation and discussion of new developments in the area of
parallel numerical methods. All aspects of the design and implementation of parallel algorithms will be
addressed, ranging from discussion of the ideas on which they
are based to analyses of their complexities and performances on current
parallel architectures. Methods for the solution of large
linear systems are of particular interest because of their
widespread occurrence in many fields, particularly in the
numerical solution of partial differential equations. However,
contributions dealing with new and improved parallel
algorithms for the solution of other problems in numerical
linear algebra, numerical quadrature, differential equations, fast transforms
and non-linear systems are also welcome.
Topics of interest include:
- numerical linear algebra
- large linear systems
- numerical quadrature
- transformations (wavelets, FFT)
- partial differential equations
- ordinary differential equations
- differential algebraic equations
- integral equations
