Performance Results

The conventional wisdom in the scientific computing community is that the best way to solve large-scale numerically intensive scientific problems on today's parallel MIMD computers is to use Fortran or C programmed in a data-parallel style using low-level message-passing primitives. This approach inevitably leads to nonportable codes and extensive development time, and restricts parallel programming to the domain of the expert programmer. We believe that these problems are not inherent to parallel computing but are the result of the programming tools used. We will show that comparable performance can be achieved with little effort if better tools that present higher level abstractions are used. The vehicle for our demonstration is a 2D electromagnetic finite element scattering code we have implemented in Mentat, an object-oriented parallel processing system. We briefly describe the application. Mentat, the implementation, and present performance results for both a Mentat and a hand-coded parallel Fortran version.

Hierarchical Representation

Abstract This paper deals with conceptual orientation and system development of intelligent support system for general purpose FEA (finite element analysis) programs. An integrated support system called “InhierTalk” (Integrated interactive environment for hierarchical representation for FEA) has been developed in Smalltalk, an object oriented language, in order to confirm effectivity of hierarchical representation and to establish an optimum method of the system development. Two object-oriented knowledge models which consist of macro visual data representation and micro regularized data representation are proposed. In the development, it is found to be clear that active and passive evaluation methods are effective for construction of support system.
