Synopsis

This book explores how the birth of parallel computing through the Ultracomputer in the 1980s advanced numerical algorithms for a wide range of scientific disciplines. The author, a researcher involved in this cutting-edge project, provides a detailed account of the original serial algorithm and then follows the development of a parallelized version, explaining how challenges were overcome to attain high efficiency in both 2D and 3D applications. Along the way, the author discusses important theoretical concepts such as time complexity, scheduling policies, efficiency estimation, and network delay simulation. This book will be of interest to computer scientists, applied mathematicians, and historians of computing, providing valuable insights into the evolution of parallel computing and its impact on scientific research.
