A new communication scheme for the neutron diffusion nodal method in a distributed computing environment

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10178646

A modified scheme is developed for solving the two-dimensional nodal diffusion equations on distributed memory computers. The scheme is aimed at minimizing the volume of communication among processors while maximizing the tasks in parallel. Results show a significant improvement in parallel efficiency on the Intel iPSC/860 hypercube compared to previous algorithms.
