The 5th edition of the VECPAR series of conferences marked a change of the conference title. The full conference title now reads VECPAR 2002 5th Int- national Conference on High Performance Computing for Computational S- ence. This re?ects more accurately what has been the main emphasis of the conference since its early days in 1993 the use of computers for solving pr- lems in science and engineering. The present postconference book includes the best papers and invited talks presented during the three days of the conference, held at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto...

This volume constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Conference on Vector and Parallel Processing (VECPAR'98), held in Porto, Portugal, in June 1998. The 41 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. Also included are six invited papers and introductory chapter surveys. The papers are organized into sections on: eigenvalue problems and solutions of linear systems; computational fluid dynamics, structural analysis and mesh partitioning; computing in education; computer organization, programming and...

This book constitutes a carefully arranged selection of revised full papers chosen from the presentations given at the Second International Conference on Vector and Parallel Processing - Systems and Applications, VECPAR'96, held in Porto, Portugal, in September 1996.
Besides 10 invited papers by internationally leading experts, 17 papers were accepted from the submitted conference papers for inclusion in this documentation following a second round of refereeing. A broad spectrum of topics and applications for which parallelism contributes to progress is covered, among them parallel linear...
