Subject: [9fans] parallelizing/distributing quasi-Monte Carlo
Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2007 14:45:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7871fcf50712101145id3928ccu344374e3b8c6af5a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
We've been using quasi-Monte Carlo integration in a class here at
Cooper, and the discussion turned to parallelization. Some of my
classmates are going the MPI/cluster route, and I was thinking this
might be a good use of Plan 9's CSP style. The general idea I had
uses one point generator process, n function evaluation processes, and
a collection process that handles estimation &c.
I think I know how to structure this on a single multiprocessor
machine, but what about a cluster? Is there the equivalent of alts on
network connections?
If the question is unclear, I'll try again after I've gotten my
machine running the single computer form.
