In this paper, recent advances in the discrete-element method (DEM) for describing motion,
deposition, agglomeration or aggregation of a large number of adhesive spherical particles …

The most exciting development in parallel computer architecture is the convergence of
traditionally disparate approaches on a common machine structure. This book explains the …

The present book provides an introduction to using space-filling curves (SFC) as tools in
scientific computing. Special focus is laid on the representation of SFC and on resulting …

For more than thirty years, the parallel programming community has used the dependence
graph as the main abstraction for reasoning about and exploiting parallelism in" regular" …

We report on an eficient adaptive N-body method which u~ e have recently designed and
implemented. The algorithm computes the forces on an arbitrary distribution of bodies in a …

We present the Stanford Parallel Applications for Shared-Memory (SPLASH), a set of
parallel applications for use in the design and evaluation of shared-memory multiprocessing …

Physical realism of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is greatly enhanced by
incorporating variable atomic charges which adapt to the local environment dynamically. In …

The gap between CPU speed and memory speed in modern computer systems is widening
as new generations of hardware are introduced. Loop blocking and prefetching …

The fast multipole method allows the rapid approximate evaluation of sums of radial basis
functions. For a specified accuracy, ϵ, the method scales as O (N) in both time and memory …

We describe a new implementation of a parallel N-body tree code. The code is load-
balanced using the method of orthogonal recursive bisection to subdivide the N-body …
