Idea 1 - Jacobi Method for 2D Poisson Problem
This topic is based on the following pdf: https://math.berkeley.edu/~wilken/228A.F07/chr_lecture.pdf
Background:
Poisson's equation according to Wikipedia:
"In mathematics, Poisson's equation is a partial differential equation of elliptic type with broad utility in mechanical engineering and theoretical physics. It arises, for instance, to describe the potential field caused by a given charge or mass density distribution; with the potential field known, one can then calculate gravitational or electrostatic field. It is a generalization of Laplace's equation, which is also frequently seen in physics."
According to the intro in the pdf above, finite-difference and finite-element methods are the solution techniques of choice for solving elliptic PDE problems. Regardless of which type of technique you choose, you will end up with sets of linear relationships between various variables, and will need to solve for the solution u_k which satisfies all the linear relationships prescribed by the PDE.
This can be written, according to the pdf, as a matrix "Au = b, where we wish to find a solution u, given that A is a matrix capturing the differentiation operator, and b corresponds to any source or boundary terms". The Jacobi method can be used to solve this matrix, and is used in the code sample later.
Jacobi method according to Wikipedia:
"In numerical linear algebra, the Jacobi method (or Jacobi iterative method[1]) is an algorithm for determining the solutions of a diagonally dominant system of linear equations. Each diagonal element is solved for, and an approximate value is plugged in. The process is then iterated until it converges."

CODE - Based on PDF
**************************
The following code is based on the jacobi.cc and common.cc code at the bottom of the source PDF, but there are some changes for these tests. The files use .cpp extensions instead of .cc, the code in common.cc was added to jacobi.cpp so it's a single file, and code for carrying out the Jacobi iterations in the main were placed into a seperate function called dojacobi() for gprof profiling.
The std::cout line inside the output_and_error function was commented out to avoid excessive printing to the terminal.

Idea 2 - LZW Compression
BACKGROUND:(Paraphrased from "LZW compression" at http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/LZW-compression) LZW compression is a compression algorithm that creates a dictionary of tokens from collections of characters. These tokens correspond to different patterns of bit values. Unique tokens are generated from the longest possible series of characters that recur in sequence any time later in a body of text. These patterns of bits that correspond to string tokens are written to an output file. Since commonly recurring sequences of words are registered to the dictionary as smaller (perhaps 12 bit) tokens, the corresponding dictionary bit code comes to represent a series of characters that would otherwise be longer than 12 bits. This is what facilitates the compression.
CODE:
The following code is an example program that performs Compression and Decompression of text files using a LZW algorithm that encodes to 12 bit values.
This is algorithm was provided with a link as a potential project through the group projects page, but here it is again: https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/86543/simple-lzw-compression-algorithm
The body of code for the algorithm is as follows:
// Compile with gcc 4.7.2 or later, using the following command line:
//
// g++ -std=c++0x lzw.c -o lzw
//
//LZW algorithm implemented using fixed 12 bit codes.

PROFILING:
The above program needs an input file to compress and decompress text in. For the purposes of testing, the Gutenberg press' "Complete Works of Shakespeare" was used as an input text file (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/100/100-0.txt) because it represents a large enough body of text to actually have perceptible run times for compression. Increases in the size of the data used are created through copying one full version of the text in the last iteration of testing and appending it to the end of the text file (so one Shakespeare's complete works becomes two back to back, two becomes four, etc).

A useful hotspot for parallelization is not immediately obvious through profiling, since the main compress() function contains the bulk of the program logic, and its show_usage(, and convert_int_to_bin are simple functions, that are called frequently in one for loop.
What really affects the runtime of the program based on data is the extent to which long matching strings can be tokenized. When this happens, larger, and larger chunks of text can be processed and compressed in an iteration. This is reflected by the fact that pasting the same blocks of text over again to increase data size does not proportionally increase run time because the same tokens work for subsequent pasted blocks.
POTENTIAL FOR PARALLELIZATION:
The compress() function performs similar operations on a collection of text, however it relies on a dictionary and an expanding string to be tokenized in a dictrionary. This could potentially be paralellized through a divide and conquer strategy where gpu blocks with shared caches share their own dictionary and iterate over their own block of text.
Idea 3 - MergeSort
Based on assignment topic suggestions.
Code for logic is based on BTP500 course note by Catherine Leung - https://cathyatseneca.gitbooks.io/data-structures-and-algorithms/content/sorting/merge_sort_code.html
It has been adjust to work only with int arrays and perform operation on worst case scenario for merge sort, which is something similar to this array - [0, 2, 4, 6, 1, 3, 5, 7].
CODE
To compile on matrix - g++ -O2 -g -pg -oa1 a1.cpp
It performs merge sort on array with 100000000 which has worst case scenario positioning of elements for sorting.
