We consider the parallelization of Monte Carlo algorithms for analyzing numerical models of charge transport used in semiconductor device physics. Parallel algorithms for the standard k-space Monte Carlo simulation of a three band model of bulk GaAs on hypercube multicomputers are first presented. This Monte Carlo model includes scattering due...
We will describe two known strategies for static processor
allocation in an n-cube multiprocessor, namely the buddy system
strategy and the gray code strategy, and then propose a new strategy
that outperforms the first by (n-k+1) and the second by (n-k+1)/2 in
cube recognition. Furthermore, our strategy is suitable for...
The dataflow model of computation differs from the traditional control-flow
model of computation in that it does not utilize a program counter to sequence
instructions in a program. Instead, the execution of instructions is based solely on the
availability of their operands. Thus, an instruction is executed in a dataflow...
