While a light sheet is generated at a designated region, images of fluid flowing through the designated region are formed at different times. For an inspection region of the plurality of inspection regions defined in the images that has a degree of difference exceeding a threshold between the local flow velocity vector v(a, b, T) at a certain time T and a reference flow velocity vector v(a, b, T) at times Tthat are different from the certain time T, the flow velocity vector v(a, b, T) at the reference time T is corrected with the reference flow velocity vector v(a, b, T).

When parallel processing is executed by parallel computers composed of a host computer and a plurality of processors connected to the host computer through a common bus, there is provided a method of assigning jobs to respective processors with high efficiency. A job in which a ratio between a communication time and a calculation time is larger than a predetermined value or larger than a fraction of processors and a job in which a ratio between a communication time and a calculation time is smaller than a predetermined value or smaller than a fraction of processors can be alternately assigned to respective processors. Alternatively, jobs are assigned to respective processors in such a manner that a plurality of processors and a plurality of jobs are divided into a plurality of groups in a one-to-one relation, jobs in which sizes comprising communication time and calculation time and ratios between the communication times and the calculation times approximate to each other may belong to different job groups and the order in which the jobs in which the sizes comprising the communication time and the calculation time and the ratios between the communication times and the calculation times approximate to each other are assigned within respective job groups may differ from each other among a plurality of job groups.

Matrix element calculation carried out efficiently without the overhead of communication between a host computer and processor elements even in parallel calculation utilizing a low-cost communication device and multiple processor elements having memories of a small capacity. In a method for calculating molecular orbitals, for example, all elements F(I, J) of a Fock matrix are calculated where an outermost loop is a loop associated with combinations (RT) of contracted shell R and contracted shell T which satisfy relationships R&lE;Nshell and T&lE;R. A second loop is a loop associated with contracted shell S, and a third loop is a loop associated with contracted shell U. Alternatively, the second loop is a loop associated with the contracted shell U, and the third loop is a loop associated with the contracted shell S. The value of S ranges from 1 to R, and the value of U ranges from 1 to R. Calculation of predetermined electron repulsion integrals and calculation of a predetermined part of Fock matrix elements utilizing the result of the calculation is carried out inside the third loop.

Method and apparatus for parallel processing

There is provided a parallel computer and a parallel computing method which allows high precision parallel calculation to be executed without requiring a hardware scale while maintaining high calculation speed. A system is constructed by connecting a host processor with a plurality of special purpose processors via buses. The host processor carries out the operation in a format of double-precision floating-point and the special purpose processor carries out the operation in an internal format of floating-point. The special purpose processor comprises an input data converting section for converting from the double-precision to the internal format and an output data converting section for converting from the internal format to the double-precision. Because the sign part and the exponent part can use data in common in the data before and after the conversion, only the mantissa part is converted by a specific procedure.
