Abstract

We propose a parallel algorithm for parallel computation in photochemical reactions simulations. The proposed method is a modified version of the force matrix decomposition algorithm. The modification is based on the bulk synchronous parallel architecture model (BSP), which describes the supersteps of computation, communication, and synchronization. The performance of this parallel algorithm is also analysed. This method is found to be a feasible parallel algorithm for simulating the photochemical reactions high-efficiently.
