2.6.1. Parallel Processing

[Under construction]

FIDO is a powerful and versatile simulation engine, which can compute simulations using inhomogeneous cubic grids on uniprocessors, symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs), and clusters tied together with TCP/IP. From the POEMS user’s point of view, SMPs act just like uniprocessors, except that an N-way SMP needs its work divided up into at least N chunks, and the load balancing is manual--usually it’s easy. This section discusses multiprocessor operations; technical details are in Appendix C.
