For more details, and talks in past semesters, consult the full schedule of talks.
Past topics can (and should) be repeated occasionally. In addition, here are some topics people might like to hear about:
To give a talk, please contact swig@math.arizona.edu.
sr_master.c:
administrator code for Simpson's 1/3 Rule Integration
sr_slave.c: worker
code for Simpson's Rule
Makefile.aimk: the
makefile for compiling & linking the above code
simp.c: the normal,
everyday, serial version of Simpson's 1/3 Rule
sr_master.c
divides up the interval and sends out the interval number to
sr_slave, which calculates that interval's
contribution to the total area and returns it to
sr_master. For this particular example, we are
integrating the function
f(x) = cos(50x)*exp(-3x) + 1 on the interval [0,1] .
To run this example, copy the above files into your
$HOME/pvm3 subdirectory. Then type
aimk sr_master sr_slave
Once compiled & linked successfully, the code is ready to
run using pvm or xpvm.
