CARRILLO-LEDESMA, Antonio; HERRERA, Ismael  and  DE LA CRUZ, Luis M.. Parallel Algorithms for Computational Models of Geophysical Systems. Geofís. Intl [online]. 2013, vol.52, n.3, pp.293-309. ISSN 2954-436X.

Mathematical models of many geophysical systems are based on the computational processing of large-scale algebraic systems. The most advanced computational tools are based on massively parallel processors. The most effective software for solving partial differential equations in parallel intends to achieve the DDM-paradigm. A set of four algorithms, the DVS-algorithms, which achieve it, and of very general applicability, has recently been developed and here they are explained. Also, their application to problems that frequently occur in Geophysics is illustrated.
