Abstract

Many econometric problems can benefit from the application of parallel computing techniques, and recent advances in hardware and software have made such application feasible. There are a number of freely available software libraries that make it possible to write message passing parallel programs using personal computers or Unix workstations. This review discusses one of theseβ€”the LAM (Local Area Multiprocessor) implementation of MPI (the Message Passing Interface). Copyright Β© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Ray tracing is a well known technique to generate life-like images. Unfortunately, ray tracing complex scenes can require large amounts of CPU time and memory storage. Distributed memory parallel computers with large memory capacities and high processing speeds are ideal candidates to perform ray tr

Data-parallel languages allow programmers to easily express parallel computations by means of high-level constructs. To reduce overheads, the compiler partitions the computations among the processors at compile-time, on the basis of the static data distribution suggested by the programmer. When exec

Although logic languages, due to their nnn-declarative nature, are widely proclaimed to be conducive in theory to parallel implementation, in fact there appears to be insufficient practical evidence to stimulate further developments in this field. The paper puts forward various complications which a
