Elliott, R; Hoare, C A.R.

Hardware and software aspects of parallel computation for scientific applications are discussed in papers presented at a Royal Society meeting on Solving Scientific Problems with Multiprocessors (December 9-10, 1987). Topics addressed include computational models for parallel computers, optimally universal parallel computers, the influence of VLSI technology on computer architecture, reconfigurable transputer networks, and the physical structure of concurrent problems and concurrent computers. Consideration is given to global scientific and engineering simulations on scalar, vector, and parallel LCAP-type supercomputers; very-high-performance MIMD applications; and scientific computation on SIMD and MIMD machines. Extensive diagrams, graphs, and sample computer graphics are provided.
