Codes for the Modelling of Stellar Structures: Parallel Implementations on a Workstation LAN

In the past couple of years, modelling of stellar structures has become increasingly important at our institute. The codes used for this kind of computations are very demanding in terms of CPU power, and most of them are suited to parallel processing. In this paper, we discuss practical examples of porting codes for stellar structures modelling, developed on sequential computers, into a paralle...
