This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Conference on Vector and Parallel Processing, VECPAR'98, held in Porto, Portugal, in June 1998. The 41 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. Also included are six invited papers and introductory chapter surveys. The papers are organized in sections on eigenvalue problems and solutions of linear systems; computational fluid dynamics, structural analysis, and mesh partitioning; computing in education; computer organization, programming and benchmarking; image analysis and synthesis; parallel database servers; and nonlinear problems.

Euro-ParConferenceSeries The European Conference on Parallel Computing (Euro-Par) is an international conference series dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. The major themes fall into the categories of hardware, software, algorithms, and applications. This year, new and interesting topicswereintroduced,likePeer-to-PeerComputing,DistributedMultimedia- stems, and Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing. For the ?rst time, we organized a Demo Session showing many challenging applications. The general objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum promoting the de- lopment of parallel and distributed computing both as an industrial technique and an academic discipline, extending the frontiers of both the state of the art and the state of the practice. The industrial importance of parallel and dist- buted computing is supported this year by a special Industrial Session as well as a vendors’ exhibition. This is particularly important as currently parallel and distributed computing is evolving into a globally important technology; the b- zword Grid Computing clearly expresses this move. In addition, the trend to a - bile world is clearly visible in this year’s Euro-Par. ThemainaudienceforandparticipantsatEuro-Parareresearchersinaca- mic departments, industrial organizations, and government laboratories. Euro- Par aims to become the primary choice of such professionals for the presentation of new results in their speci?c areas. Euro-Par has its own Internet domain with a permanent Web site where the history of the conference series is described: http://www.euro-par.org. The Euro-Par conference series is sponsored by the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) and the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).

The continuous progress in scientific research is one of the important factors explaining the constantly increasing demand for computational power. On the other hand, one of the results of such progress is the availability of more powerful computer platforms. To that end, this volume reviews a broad array of subjects based on the solutions to the daily problems in industrial production, research, and development.

Multigrid algorithms are known to be highly efficient in solving systems of elliptic equations. However, standard multi grid algorithms fail to achieve optimal grid-independent convergence rates in solving non-elliptic problems. In many practical cases, the non-elliptic part of a problem is represented by the convection operator. Downstream marching, when it is viable, is the simplest and most efficient way to solve this operator. However, in a parallel setting, the sequential nature of marching degrades the efficiency of the algorithm. The aim of this report is to present, evaluate and analyze an alternative highly parallel multi grid method for 3-D convection-dominated problems. This method employs semi coarsening, a four-color plane-implicit smoother, and discretization rules allowing the same cross-characteristic interactions on all the grids involved to be maintained. The resulting multigrid solver exhibits a fast grid-independent convergence rate for solving the convection-diffusion operator on cell-centered grids with stretching. The load imbalance below the critical level is the main source of inefficiency in its parallel implementation. A hybrid smoother that degrades the convergence properties of the method but improves its granularity has been found to be the best choice in a parallel setting. The numerical and parallel properties of the multi grid algorithm with the four-color and hybrid smoothers are studied on SGI Origin 2000 and Cray T3E systems.
