This book was one of the first of its kind dealing with the solution of fluid dynamics problems using finite element analysis on advanced parallel architectures. In particular the Distributed Array Processor (SIMD) machine which was located at Queen Mary College, London.
The book describes how the algorithms are mapped onto the architecture and some of the problems associated with moving from sequential to parallel architectures.
Although published in 1986 the books insights into techniques and problems associated with moving from sequential to parallel architectures is still valid given the increasing use of array processing languages such as PV-Wave and IDL in the numerical/image/data processing fields.
