Abstract
Robust and efficient parallel numerical algorithms and their implementation in easy-to-use portable software components are crucial for computational science and engineering applications. They are strongly influenced by the remarkable progress in the development of parallel computer systems. This imposes to adapt or re-design already existing algorithms, or to find new algorithmic approaches, in order to effectively exploit the power that is offered by emerging parallel architectures. On the other hand, the use of numerical algorithms and software in more and more complex applications, to make simulations and computational experiments with a very high level of detail, demands for increasing computing power, thus giving new stimulating impulses to parallel computer developers.
The aim of Topic 10 is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of recent advances in the field of parallel and distributed numerical algorithms. Different aspects of their design and implementation are addressed, ranging from fundamental algorithmic concepts, through their efficient implementation on modern parallel architectures, up to software design and prototyping in scientific computing and simulation software environments, and to performance analysis.
