Thirteen Perfect Benchmarks are Fortran programs drawn from a number of scientific and engineering research areas, including air pollution, fluid dynamics, seismic migration, quantum chromodynamics, and signal processing. These applications include sparse matrix computations and symbolic computations, such as theorem proving and computer algebra. In a third project, NCSA and CSRD are conducting a nationwide survey of computational scientists involved in parallel processing. When, Where, and How of parallel processing. So far the responses have been very interesting.
Nature does things in a parallel rather than in a sequential manner. . .
In the end, you think differently about solving your problem.
