Applications: Science and Engineering

• Examples

  • Weather prediction
  • Evolution of galaxies
  • Oil reservoir simulation
  • Automobile crash tests
  • Drug development
  • VLSI CAD
  • Nuclear BOMBS!

• Typically model physical systems or phenomena

• Problems are 2D or 3D

• Usually requires “number crunching”

• Involves “true” parallelism
