Abstract

The spatial discretization of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) results in large systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The discretization of the Brusselator equation is a characteristic example. For the parallel numerical solution of the Brusselator equation we use an iterated Runge-Kutta method. We propose modifications of the original method that exploit the access structure of the Brusselator equation. The implementation is realized on an Intel iPSC/860. A theoretical analysis of the resulting speedup values shows that the efficiency cannot be improved considerably.
