Time Parallelization for Second-Order Equations

Michael Minion
Stanford University

This talk will discuss recent work on extending the parallel full 
approximation scheme in space and time (PFASST) to second-order 
differential equations, in particular Hamiltonian systems. 
I will present a new variant of spectral deferred corrections appropriate
for second-order equations and discuss options for generating a hierarchy
of time-space problems to increase the parallel efficiency of PFASST. 
I will also discuss some recent progress on applying these ideas to 
molecular dynamics simulations using the OpenMM framework.
