Parallel Implementation of the PHOENIX Generalized Stellar Atmosphere Program. III: A parallel algorithm for direct opacity sampling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe two parallel algorithms for line opacity calculations based on a local file and on a global file approach. The performance and scalability of both approaches is discussed for different test cases and very different parallel computing systems. The results show that a global file approach is more efficient on high-performance parallel supercomputers with dedicated parallel I/O subsystem whereas the local file approach is very useful on farms of workstations, e.g., cheap PC clusters.

Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of audio signals is critical in different areas, including electronic war, sonar, etc. The beamforming methods like Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR), Delay-and-Sum (DAS), and subspace-based Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) are the most known DOA estimation techniques. The mentioned methods have high computational complexity. Hence using...

Context. The current stellar atmosphere programs still cannot match some fundamental observations of the brightest stars, and with new techniques, such as optical interferometry, providing new data for these stars, additional development of stellar atmosphere codes is required. Aims. To modify the open-source model atmosphere program Atlas to treat spherical geometry, creating a test-bed stella...
