2D Heat Equation

This example is based on a simplified two-dimensional heat equation domain decomposition. The initial temperature is computed to be high in the middle of the domain and zero at the boundaries. The boundaries are held at zero throughout the simulation. During the time-stepping, an array containing two domains is used; these domains alternate between old data and new data.

The parallel versions provide an X based display of the initial and final temperature distributions.
