- I'm looking for ideas for a project in my parallel programming class.
- Since we fortunately have a great deal of freedom in choosing a topic,
- and since astronomy & physics have long been interests of mine, I
- hope to find something that combines them with parallel programming.
- Ideally, I'd like to do something that's
-
- * interesting,
- * actually useful to someone in the "real" world,
- * not a duplicate of work already done or being done,
- * suitable for a one-person, ~one-semester project, and
- * in one of the Fortran, C, or C++ dialects.
-
- The nature of the project would be something like either adapting an
- existing serial code to a parallel architecture, or adapting an
- existing parallel code to a different parallel architecture, and then
- trying to get something which runs quickly and accurately. Evidently
- several architectures, as well as tools such as PVM, will be available.
-
- Thoughts I'd had include problems in N-body simulation, particle
- physics, etc.. Any suggestions, pointers to existing apps, or other
- comments, I'd greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance for your help,
-
