Abstract

This paper explores methods for extracting parallelism from a wide variety of numerical applications. Load-balancing considerations and communication overheads for implementing scientific and engineering problems on networks of transputers are then discussed. Some case studies are presented in detail. The paper demonstrates that reconfigurable transputer arrays provide a flexible, powerful and easily programmable approach to parallel processing.
