Abstract

Processor virtualization is a parallelization technique that may be used to enhance the performance of parallel applications through the improvement of cache performance, overlapping of communication and computation. In this study, we use the processor virtualization technique to parallelize the level set method for solving solidification problems. Numerical results on a distributed memory machine are reported to show the performance of the resulting level set solver, and demonstrate the advantages of using processor virtualization.
