Abstract

The master-slave (MS) parallel computing model is one of the most widely used model in a networked computing environment due to its ease of im- plementation. This model, however, suffers from the disadvantages of the sequential generation of slave processes and heavy communication overheads imposed on the master processor. To overcome this problem, we present in this paper an efficient multilevel master-slave (MMS) scheme which is espe- cially useful for solving decomposable large-scale problems such as structure m
