Section 1.1.1, second half: Commercial application trend
- What characterizes present-day applications?
- How much memory, processor time, etc.?
- How high is the speedup?
Multiprocessing has been an active research area for almost 40 years and commercial parallel computers have been available for more than 35 years. After getting off to a slow start, this area has now taken off. Shared memory multiprocessors have dominated this development. This is an area that has sprung out of tireless research and numerous published breakthrough results.
Applications in Engineering and Design � Design of airfoils (optimizing lift, drag, stability), internal combustion engines (optimizing charge distribution, burn), high-speed circuits (layouts for delays and capacitive and inductive effects), and structures (optimizing structural integrity, design parameters, cost, etc.). � Design and simulation of micro- and nano-scale systems. � Process optimization, operations research
