Abstract:
One of the significant questions to be addressed in Computational
Science is developing scalable algorithms allowing to tackle Large Scale
(Grand Challenges) problems and thus enabling computational scientists
to overcome the performance gap.
In this presentation an overview of the various approaches for
designing such algorithms will be made. Some generic key properties
of scalable algorithms will be described. The author will present
examples of such scalable algorithms from areas of Large Matrix
Computations as well as scalable algorithms for Environmental Problems
such as Air Pollution Modelling etc. outlining the efficiency of the
approach.
