Parallelising the Turing Ring using Orca

| Summary: | The Turing Ring is a discrete simulation of a chaotic dynamic system. It is well suited for parallelisation, but balancing the load on processors is difficult. A program was written in Orca, an ALGOL-like language for parallel systems supporting shared data objects. The load-balancing strategy used is described and its performance reported. Some comments on the ease of programming in Orca are then made. |
