Supercomputing in engineering analysis

The first volume in this new series has a companion in volume 2 (unseen), Parallel processing in computational mechanics . The first six contributions present general aspects of supercomputing from both hardware and software engineering points of view. Subsequent chapters discuss homotopy algorithms;Preface -- Contributors -- About the Editor -- 1.Supercomputing in the 1990s: A Distributed Solution /S. Ashley Burns and Charlie F.
