Parallel developments for numerical scientific application

Participant : Sylvain Contassot-Vivier.

The RAD2D/RAD3D software are co-developed with Fatmir Asllanaj, full researcher in physics at the LEMTA Laboratory, in the context of an inter-disciplinary collaboration. The object of those software is to solve and compute the radiative-transfer equation by using the finite volume method. As the amount of computations induced is very large, the resort to parallelism is mandatory [9] , [15] . By its complexity and similarity with a large proportion of scientific applications, this real case application is a fully pertinent test-case for the parallel techniques and schemes we have designed in our team. Those software are not open-source and, by the way, are still in development state.
