Multicast is an important interprocessor communication pattern existing in various parallel application algorithms. This paper proposes a new multicast algorithm for hypercube computers that not only minimizes the number of hops required for delivery of the message and keeps the amount of traffic small, but also takes into consideration of balancing traffic among the active processors to maximize the parallelism in communication. Our algorithm has a time complexity ofO(nN) for fault-tolerant multicasting in a hypercube ofN= 2nprocessors containing an arbitrary number of faulty processors.

This paper presents bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) algorithms for linear system solving through QR and QZ factorisation. The two new algorithms are analysed in terms of the BSP cost model, and portable implementations of the QR and QZ decomposition methods are devised using the Oxford BSP Library. The experimental results obtained on a shared-memory multiprocessor accurately match the theoretical predictions, permitting a thorough comparison of the two algorithms.

We set up a class of multi-parameter relaxed parallel matrix multisplitting methods for solving the linear complementarity problems on the SIMD multiprocessor systems. This class of methods can not only includes all the existing relaxed methods for the linear complementarity problems, but also can yields a lot of novel ones in the sense of multisplitting. Thus, it is reasonably general. We set up the convergence theory of these relaxed methods under the condition that the system matrix is an H-matrix with positive diagonal elements.

This paper examines the potential impact of parallelcomputing on the computational performance of GIS. Performance analyses on existing GIS operations, vector topology creation and interpolation, in commerical GIS products in a serial environment are used to work out the critical computational factors that determine elapsed time performance. Analyses reveal that the extraction of all data necessary to perform a GIS operation at a particular geographical locality dominates the I/O and CPU resource usage. For GIS to benefit from parallelcomputing, the performance of this task must be addressed.

The paper describes the design of a distributed software architecture for an intelligent planning system based on a process model of cognitive systems (PMCS). PMCS is described in terms of its problem-solving behaviour and structure, and is illustrated through a simple case study in robotics. In the PMCS autonomous knowledge sources, implementing a component of the functionality, co-operate by message-passing in order to maintain a distributed model of the system's environment and to synthesise decisions based on the model. Simulation tools developed at the University of Westminster for the rapid prototyping of parallel systems have been used to simulate the software architecture based on PMCS. Simulation results for the planning case study are presented in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of PMCS in solving planning problems in a distributed manner.

The leaching of a mineral from the ground is considered using injection and recovery holes drilled into the rock. In this simplified analysis, the holes are arranged vertically and an appropriate caustic leaching fluid is introduced into the uppermost hole. The leaching liquor percolates down through the rock, dissolving the mineral of interest, and is pumped out when it arrives at the second hole. Water is introduced at the bottom hole in an attempt to increase the feasible recovery fraction of mineral-bearing liquor. Tire model problem is solved numerically using a boundary-integral formulation. Maximum feasible recovery fractions for the leaching fluid are obtained and their dependence upon the separation distance between the injection and recovery points and upon the pumping rate for water at the bottom hole are studied The volume of rock inundated by the leaching liquor is assessed, and a possible practical strategy for in situ leaching of low-grade ores is proposed.
