Efficient overlapped FFT algorithms for hypercube-connected multicomputers
(1994)In this work, we propose parallel FFT algorithms, for medium-to-coarse grain hypercube-connected multicomputers, which are more elegant and efficient than the existing ones. The proposed algorithms achieve perfect load-balance ... -
Encapsulating multiple communication-cost metrics in partitioning sparse rectangular matrices for parallel matrix-vector multiplies
(SIAM, 2004)This paper addresses the problem of one-dimensional partitioning of structurally unsymmetric square and rectangular sparse matrices for parallel matrix-vector and matrix-transpose-vector multiplies. The objective is to ... -
Hypergraph models for parallel sparse matrix-matrix multiplication
(Bilkent University, 2015-09)Multiplication of two sparse matrices (i.e., sparse matrix-matrix multiplication, which is abbreviated as SpGEMM) is a widely used kernel in many applications such as molecular dynamics simulations, graph operations, and ... -
Large-scale solutions of electromagnetics problems using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm and physical optics
(Bilkent University, 2015-04)Integral equations provide full-wave (accurate) solutions of Helmholtz-type electromagnetics problems. The multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) discretizes the equations and solves them numerically with O(NLogN) ... -

Model-driven transformations for mapping parallel algorithms on parallel computing platforms
(CEUR-WS, 2013)One of the important problems in parallel computing is the mapping of the parallel algorithm to the parallel computing platform. Hereby, for each parallel node the corresponding code for the parallel nodes must be implemented. ... -
One-dimensional partitioning for heterogeneous systems: theory and practice
(Academic Press, 2008-11)We study the problem of one-dimensional partitioning of nonuniform workload arrays, with optimal load balancing for heterogeneous systems. We look at two cases: chain-on-chain partitioning, where the order of the processors ... -
A parallel boundary element formulation for tracking multiple particle trajectories in Stoke's flow for microfluidic applications
(Tech Science Press, 2015)A new formulation for tracking multiple particles in slow viscous flow for microfluidic applications is presented. The method employs the manipulation of the boundary element matrices so that finally a system of equations ... -
Parallel image restoration using surrogate constraint methods
(Academic Press, 2007)When formulated as a system of linear inequalities, the image restoration problem yields huge, unstructured, sparse matrices even for images of small size. To solve the image restoration problem, we use the surrogate ... -
