Typical processing needs found today in industrial, medical, and military applications routinely involve handling extremely large volumes of data. The amount of data involved in these applications, combined with real-time processing requirements have suggested massively parallel architectures as the only way to achieve the level of performance required for many time- and safety-critical tasks.
Recently, high-performance massively parallel machines have been enhanced by the addition of various bus systems. We are planning to edit a special issue of the PAA that will focus on the design and analysis of algorithms for enhanced mesh architectures.
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
