The Mesh-Spectral Archetype

Greg Davis and Berna Massingill

Abstract:

A parallel program archetype [2] aids in the development of reliable, efficient parallel applications with common computation/communication structures by providing development methods and code libraries specific to the structure. This document presents an archetype for mesh-spectral computations. It describes the common structure captured by the archetype abstraction, discusses a parallelization strategy for such computations, documents our code library to support this parallelization strategy, and presents a collection of tutorial example application programs.
