Parallel (//) ELLPACK: An Expert System for Parallel Processing of Partial Differential Equations

We are developing an expert system environment for solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) defined on two and three dimensional domains on MIMD type parallel machines. According to its design objectives, it will provide a uniform programming environment for implementing parallel MIMD PDE solution solvers, an automatic partitioning and allocation of the PDE computation, a very high level problem specification language, an interactive high level environment for grid selection, a domain partitioning and mapping facility, a uniform environment for obtaining software engineering measurements and a graphical display of solution output.
