World’s Largest Solar Power Plant
Have you ever made the drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas through the Mojave Desert? If so, you might have seen the world’s largest solar-based thermal power plant.
Intro to the What, Why, and How of Distributed Memory Computing
In a follow-up to our post on shared memory computing, we discuss another building block of hybrid parallel computing: distributed memory computing.
Happy Birthday, Nicolaus Copernicus
Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus first theorized the concept of a heliocentric universe. At the time, this was controversial. Now, more than 500 years later, we believe him.

Theory of Current Distribution
Here, we discuss one of the building blocks that make up hybrid parallel computing, namely shared memory computing, as well as when and how to use shared memory with COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Intro to the What, Why, and How of Shared Memory Computing
A couple of weeks ago, we published the first blog post in a Hybrid Modeling series, about hybrid parallel computing and how it helps COMSOL Multiphysics model faster. Today, we are going to briefly discuss one of the building blocks that make up the hybrid version, namely shared memory computing. Before that, we need to consider what it means that an “application is running in parallel”. You will also learn when and how to use shared memory with COMSOL.
