Abstract

In this paper we describe the implementation of numerical adaptive algorithms for multi-dimensional quadrature on distributed-memory parallel systems. The algorithms are targeted at clusters of workstations with standard message passing interfaces, e.g., PVM or MPI. The most important issues are communication and load balancing. Static and dynamic partitioning of the region are considered. Numerical results on various workstation clusters are reported.
