This paper introduces an architecture-independent, hierarchical approach to algorithm design on distributed-memory architectures, in contrast to the current trend of tailoring algorithms towards specific architectures. We show that, rather surprisingly, this new approach can achieve uniformity witho

Abstract
A parallel algorithm for linear structure transient response problems is presented in which transient response is computed independently for substructures for extended periods of time, and these substructure responses are then corrected to obtain the response of the overall coupled structure. The correction of the uncoupled substructure responses only requires the interface portions of these responses sampled occasionally in time, and is done independently for different substructures in a streamlined procedure. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the method and show its accuracy.

## Abstract This paper proposes an algorithm to accurately compute the sum of floatingβpoint numbers on parallel computers. This algorithm is an extension of the wellβknown recursive doubling technique which computes the sum of __n__ floatingβpoint number in log~2~__n__ parallel steps. The time com
Determining molecular structure from interatomic distances is an important and challenging problem. Given a molecule with n atoms, lower and upper bounds on interatomic distances can usually be obtained only for a small subset of the n(n-1) 2 atom pairs, using NMR. Given the bounds so obtained on th
