Assembly technology for parallel realization of numerical models on MIMD-multicomputers

The main ideas of the assembly technology (AT) in its application to parallel realization of big size numerical models on a rectangular mesh are considered and demonstrated by the parallelization of the particle-in-cell (PIC) method. The realization of the numerical models with the assembly technology is based on the construction of a fragmented parallel program. This provides different useful properties of the target program including dynamic load balance on the basis of the fragments flying from overloaded to underloaded processor elements of a multicomputer. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
