Physics 21 Reading List #8

This week, I am giving you readings about N-body simulations (and especially about dense stellar systems and the GRAPE computers), and about efficiency in MPI (and especially about persistent communication).

- Read the Introduction and the section on Dense stellar systems in P. Hut and J. Makino's ambitious work-in-progress, The Art of Computational Science.

- Read (quickly) Secs. 1-3 of J. Makino et al., A 1.349 Tflops simulation of black holes in a galactic center on GRAPE-6. See also the Grape Project.

- Browse the tutorial on MPI Performance Topics; read the section on persistent communication.
