Abstract:

The paper will examine paradigms currently used in parallel strategies for multivariate integration algorithms. These include process structure (for example, with centralized control) and work distribution strategies (static or dynamic) in synchronous or asynchronous implementations. The target algorithm classes are Monte Carlo, quasi-Monte Carlo, and adaptive. Strengths and weaknesses of the resulting parallel algorithms will be discussed for various problem categories in order to delineate their areas of effective applicability.
