Treffer: Asynchronous Iterative Algorithms for Computational Science on the Grid: Three Case Studies.

In this paper we are interested in showing that developing asynchronous iterative algorithms for computational science is easy and efficient with the use of Jace: a Java-based library for asynchronous iterative computation. We experiment three typical applications in a heterogeneous cluster composed of distant machines. To illustrate the adequacy of our algorithms in this context, we compare the execution times of both synchronous and asynchronous versions. Keywords: Asynchronous iterative algorithms, computational science problems, grid computing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
