Thus, the parallel algorithm solves a different problem than the sequential one, but faster and eventually with same results (at least it was like that in the 90s when I did my PhD).

After listening to this very interesting episode (thanks!), I wonder how this could be expressed with the Scala/DSL-approach, where the the goal is to hide concurrency under the hood. It could be a challenge to abstract from parallelism and allow close interaction of numerics, physics and software at the same time…

- trust the JVM
- want compatibility with existing local code
- want compatibility with libraries they have training/experience with
