Solution <strong>of</strong> hyperbolic PDEs<br />

The fundamental algorithmic barrier is the CFL condition:<br />

∆t ≤ a∆x<br />

Implicit <strong>methods</strong> don’t usually help (due to reduced accuracy)<br />

Strong scaling limits the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> spatial parallelism alone<br />

Strategy: keep ∆x as large as possible by using high order <strong>methods</strong><br />
