Two-Dimensional Integrals

• iii) For most one-dimensional integrals would not need parallel computing as rarely is this a big calculation.

• However, in multidimensional integrals, one can need more computing power.

  

• In first term, divide the x points between processors, as illustrated, for one-dimensional case. In second term, do internally to each processor.

• iv) We will return to multidimensional case when we discuss Monte Carlo methods, which are a more general and useful approach.
