Almost block diagonal (ABD) linear systems arise in a variety of contexts, specifically in numerical methods for two-point boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations and in related partial differential equation problems. The stable, efficient sequential solution of ABDs has received much attention over the last fifteen years and the parallel solution more recently. We survey th...

Bulk synchronous parallel architectures offer the prospect of achieving both scalable parallel performance and architecture independent parallel software. They provide a robust model on which to base the future development of general purpose parallel computing systems. In this paper we theoretically and experimentally analyse the efficiency with which a wide range of important scientific comput...

In previous studies, active suspension system in conventional powertrain systems was investigated. This paper presents the application of active suspension system in parallel hybrid electric vehicles as a novel idea. The main motivation for this study is investigation of the potential advantages of this application over the conventional one. For this purpose, a simultaneous simulation is develo...

The development of parallel device simulators is a widely accepted method for overcoming the speed and memory restrictions of a single processor system [1]. This is particularly important for 3D problems [2] where the speed of existing 3D single-processor simulators significantly restricts their use in practical device design. To achieve maximum speed-up and efficiency, parallel code design sho...

Several studies, examples and expert statements have devised cost efficiency and excellent performance of parallel computing technology and especially transputers in many industrial applications. Still there appears to be a mismatch between potential possibilities and actual utilization of the technology. This has lead to consider this mismatch to be not a technical problem, but a technology di...

among structured peer-to-peer systems, chord has a general popularity due to its salient features like simplicity, high scalability, small path length with respect to network size, and flexibility on node join and departure. however, chord doesn’t take into account the topology of underlying physical network when a new node is being added to the system, thus resulting in high routing latency an...

The computational and compositional features are very important while constructing parallel software for the workstation clusters. However, lack of suitable supporting environment for parallel software development makes most existing distributed parallel software systems very weak in these two aspects, especially in the compositional feature. In this paper, a distributed object based framework ...
