Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement (SAMR) Grid Methods

by Scott B. Baden (Editor), Nikos P. Chrisochoides (Editor), Dennis B. Gannon (Editor), Michael L. Norman (Editor)

Overview

The papers presented in this collection are based on talks given at th e Workshop on Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement Grid Methods, held a t the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, University of Mi nnesota, on March 12-13 1997. They describe research to improve the ge neral understanding of the application of SAMR to practical problems; identify issues critical to efficient and effective implementation on high performance computers; stimulate the development of a community c ode repository for software including benchmarks to assist in the eval uation of software and compiler technologies. The ten chapters of this volume have been divided into two parts reflecting two major issues i n the topic: (I) programming complexity of SAMR algorithms and (II) ap plicability and numerical challenges of SAMR methods.
