Our aim in this book is to present and enlarge upon those aspects
of parallel computing that are needed by practitioners of
computational science. Today al most all classical sciences, such
as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, employ numerical
methods to help gain insight into nature. In addition to the
traditional numerical methods, such as matrix inversions and the
like, a whole new field of computational techniques has come to
assume central importance, namely the numerical simulation methods.
These methods are much less fully developed than those which are
usually taught in a standard numerical math ematics course.
However, they form a whole new set of tools for research in the
physical sciences and are applicable to a very wide range of
problems. At the same time there have been not only enormous
strides forward in the speed and capability of computers but also
dramatic new developments in computer architecture, and
particularly in parallel computers. These improvements offer
exciting prospects for computer studies of physical systems, and it
is the new techniques and methods connected with such computer
simulations that we seek to present in this book, particularly in
the light of the possibilities opened up by parallel computers. It
is clearly not possible at this early stage to write a definitive
book on simulation methods and parallel computing."
