Changing the Algorithm

Changing the Algorithm

• Some algorithms are just not good candidates for parallelization
  • If an approximation, another approximation may be a better choice (different physical model)
  • If part of an iterative method, another iteration may be better (different numerical model)
  • Need not be less efficient
    • Hierarchical domain decomposition methods are an example
