Design of a Data Class for Parallel Scientific Computing

摘要

We propose the design of a data class that offers SPMD parallelization facilities. The data class encapsulates all of the parallel procedures, so applications are written without concern for parallization. The class interfaces are identical in the parallel and sequential cases, so a program can use either and run without change in a parallel or sequential environment. An example with the design applied to a CFD calculation is presented. Results show that good parallel efficiency is obtained by this approach.
