SCIENTIFIC COMPUTATION SEMINAR
-Thursday, May 11, 1989
Professor Johnny Peterson from IBM Bergen Scientific center,
will speak on ``Parallel Seismic Wave Propagation''.
TIME: 3:30 p.m.
ROOM: DC 1304
ABSTRACT
Seismic modelling to produce realistic seismic traces
is a computationally intensive problem. A 2D synthetic
wave propagation code using explicit finite differences
with absorbing boundary conditions has been implemented
on an Intel Hypercube with 32 processors. The
algorithms is highly parallel with good load balancing
between processors and speed-up proportional to the
number of processors being used. A vectorized version
of the code has been used to evaluate the performance
of the Intel IPSC/1-VX 5d vector hypercube.
