Topic: 

Parallel high-order time-stepping with revisionist integral deferred correction

Description: 

RIDC (revisionist integral deferred correction) methods are a class of time integrators well-suited to parallel computing. RIDC methods can achieve high-order accuracy in wall-clock time comparable to forward Euler. The methods use a predictor and multiple corrector steps. Each corrector is lagged by one time step; the predictor and each of the correctors can then be computed in parallel. This presentation introduces RIDC methods and demonstrates their effectiveness on some test problems.
