Multidimensional integration in a heterogeneous network environment
Abstract
We consider several issues related to the multidimensional integration using a network of heterogeneous computers. Based on these considerations, we develop a new general purpose scheme which can significantly reduce the time needed for evaluation of integrals with CPU intensive integrands. This scheme is a parallel version of the well-known adaptive Monte Carlo method (the VEGAS algorithm), and is incorporated into a new integration package which uses the standard set of message-passing routines in the PVM software system.
