Topic 10: Parallel numerical algorithms

The solution of large-scale problems in Computational Science and Engineering relies on the availability of accurate, robust and efficient numerical algorithms and software that are able to exploit the power offered by modern computer architectures. Such algorithms and software provide building blocks for prototyping and developing novel applications, and for improving existing ones, by relieving the developers from details concerning numerical methods as well as their implementation in new computing environments. © 2012 Springer-Verlag
